BThe female has blocked fallopian tubes
CThe couple is over 50 years old
DThe male partner cannot inseminate the female, or has a very low sperm count
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. The male partner cannot inseminate the female, or has a very low sperm count
AI/IUI is indicated when the **male is unable to inseminate, or sperm count in the ejaculate is very low**. Semen (husband's or donor's) is introduced into the vagina or directly into the uterus (IUI).
