How to optimise IUI results

Recent publications have shown that less time between semen production and analysis significantly influence pregnancies and live birth (1).

One of the reasons is probably the fact that ejaculates show rapid increase in osmolality, which affects motility when exposed a medium with lower osmolality (2).
