Post Coital Test
The post coital fertility test, or "after intercourse", test determines the ability of the sperm to survive in the cervical mucus. The couple has intercourse at home and the female comes to the office within 24 hours later. The cervical mucus is examined and numerous "dead" or nonmoving sperm indicate there may be an antibody problem.
Antibody reactions occur when the female's body mistakes the sperm for invading pathogens and seeks to destroy them. The male can also rarely produce antisperm antibodies.
