Cryopreservation of semen in men with testicular tumour or Hodgkin's disease: results of artificial insemination of their partners.

After cryopreservation of semen from men with testicular tumours or Hodgkin's disease the success rate of artificial insemination of their partners was analysed. The cumulative probability of pregnancy at 6 months was 45%. The chance of pregnancy was greater when timing of ovulation was predicted with measurements of urinary luteinising hormone. Sperm density and sperm motility were also important in predicting the likelihood of pregnancy.
