Statistical anylasis was done by Student t test for parametric data and Chi-square test for p value significance.
Results: We found that success of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) was higher in women with BMI < 30> Conclusion: There was a significant (p = 0.002) decrease in pregnancy rate in women with BMI of >30 who underwent Intrauterine Insemination(IUI).
