View allI had laparoscopic ovarian drilling surgery two days ago and my doctor recommended IUI treatment next month. What are the chances of getting pregnant naturally after this procedure or should we stick with IUI for better success?
After laparoscopic ovarian drilling, approximately 40-60% of women become pregnant within a year, with about 50% of those pregnancies being spontaneous. While IUI can increase pregnancy rates, ReproductiveFacts.org states that ovarian drilling is a one-time treatment, while IUI requires monthly interventions. If ovulation and menstrual cycles are still irregular after drilling, or if other fertility issues exist, IUI might be recommended for increased success rates
