Table 2. Fertility evaluation findings.
Assessment | Result (n = 14) | Comment |
---|---|---|
HyCoSy | Bilateral/Unilateral tubal patency (n = 5) | Additional laparoscopic assessment and possibly in vitro fertilization in women with bilateral tubal occlusion |
Bilateral tubal occlusion (n = 4) | ||
Inability to tolerate procedure (n = 2) | ||
Withdrew consent for evaluation (n = 3) | ||
AFC | Range: 7–20 | aAll had reasonable ovarian reserve |
HIV RNA Viral Load (copies/mL) |
bDetectable in 7 women, range: 1,355–66,321 |
Consider ARV adherence and attempted pregnancy in the setting of a detectable HIV RNA viral load |
Other Pelvic Pathology | Endometrial polyp(s) and fluid (n = 2) | Consider additional hysteroscopic assessment for endometrial pathology |
Submucosal fibroid in endometrial cavity (n = 1) | ||
Unilateral dermoid cyst (n = 1) | ||
Semen analysis (interpreted per WHO standards) |
Normal (n = 8) | Consider cultural and personal challenges to semen analysis |
cBorderline (n = 1) | ||
Declined semen analysis (n = 5) |
HyCoSy–hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography; AFC–antral follicle count
aNormal AFC >10 follicles on two ovaries combined
bAll men were HIV-negative
cSuitable for intra-uterine insemination
