Intravaginal exposure to seminal plasma after ovum pick up does not increase live birth rates after IVF or ICSI: a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial.

It has been suggested that intravaginal deposition of seminal plasma after ovum pick up for in vitro fertilization, IVF, increases pregnancy and live birth rates. Thus, the present study aimed to detect whether intravaginal exposure to prepared seminal plasma led to an absolute increase in live birth rate after IVF by 10 % compared to placebo.
