Does timed intercourse or artificial insemination have better results?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 09/07/2023

In general, artificial insemination (AI) has better success rates than directed intercourse. Specifically, AI has a 13-25% chance of pregnancy when conjugal sperm is used and 18-29% in cases where a sperm donor is used.

In contrast, the success rate of directed intercourse is less than 10%. However, the most important thing is to personalize each situation and propose the best reproductive option for each type of patient.
