Abstract
A comparison of fertilizing capacity was made between fresh semen and semen stored in liquid nitrogen. A total of 107 attempts at conception were made in 74 women. Fresh semen produced 35 conceptions in 48 attempts; frozen semen resulted in 36 pregnancies in 59 attempts. The 36 women who failed to conceive were found to have a high incidence of polycystic ovarian disease. The 71 conceptions resulted in 59 live births, 36 boys and 23 girls, 11 early spontaneous abortions, and 1 tubal pregnancy.Keywords
