Urine pregnancy test and intrauterine inseminations - 2004

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">I recently learnt a lesson that I will never forget. A patient on infertility treatment underwent an intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure. 2 weeks later she was admitted to the gynaecology ward with iliac fossa pain and a positive pregnancy test. Subsequently she underwent laparoscopic salpingectomy for an ectopic pregnancy. In this case we had not been sure whether she was pregnant at the time of IUI procedure. Therefore we decided that in future we would do a urine pregnancy test for all patients before IUI.</span>
