Premature ejaculation is a condition in men where the body loses control when the penis is inserted into the vagina. Whether premature ejaculation affects fertility is a question that arises quite often in practice. In mild cases, pregnancy is still possible, but there are also instances where premature ejaculation reduces fertility.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a common assisted reproductive technique (ART) for couples experiencing infertility. Measurement of serum beta-hCG concentration 14 days following IUI is a critical indicator of successful conception.
