Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that infertility patients undergoing IUI who receive female autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) co-incubation with husband's sperm would have higher clinical pregnancy rate. Primary outcome: To compare the incidence of clinical pregnancy outcome in those infertility patients undergoing IUI with female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm group and non-PRP group. Secondary outcomes:
- To evaluate the post-culture sperm parameters between the intervention group and control group
- To evaluate the IUI parameter between the intervention group and control group
- To evaluate the safeness between the female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI group and non-PRP group, including potential infection rate or other pregnancy outcomes such as miscarriage, multiple pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Clinical pregnancy
To determine the rate of clinical pregnancy outcome in subjects undergoing IUI with PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm group than non-PRP group.
6 weeks gestation and ultrasound scanning will be performed to confirm at least one gestational sac around 2 to 3 months after IUI
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Sperm motility
after 30 minutes of co-culture
beta hCG positivity
up to 24 weeks of IUI
Infection or other complications
up to 24 weeks of IUI
Miscarriage
up to 24 weeks of IUI
Multiple pregnancy
up to 24 weeks of IUI
- +2 more secondary outcomes
