[27] Most clinics in the U.S. perform IUI in the morning after a positive ovulation predictor kit test (which detects LH in urine). [27]
Sperm washing is a standard procedure in infertility treatment. Once the fastest sperm have been isolated, before using them for artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, it is important to confirm the absence of HIV virus in the sample.
The first recorded case of artificial insemination was John Hunter in 1790, who helped impregnate a linen draper's wife.

The risk is further increased by multiple doses of hCG after ovulation and if the procedure results in pregnancy. [2] Using a GnRH agonist instead of hCG for inducing final oocyte maturation and/or release results in an elimination of the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, but a slight decrease of the delivery rate of approximately 6%.
