Post Coital

The post coital or, after intercourse test examines the quantity and quality of sperm movement in the cervical mucus a few hours after intercourse. Normal cervical mucus provides nourishment and a transport medium for sperm.

The couple has intercourse at home, near the time of ovulation, and the female comes to our office the next morning. A cervical mucus sample is collected and examined for the presence of living,swimming sperm. If there are large numbers of nonmotile sperm, it could indicate the presence of antisperm antibodies in the male, female, or both.

Treatment of cervical factor infertility may involve IUI, IVF or IVF/ICSI and is discussed under infertility treatments.
