The microscopic analysis of a sample of cervical mucus, usually collected wilhin 18 hours after intercourse. This test determines the quality of cervical mucus and the ability of sperm to enter and penetrate the mucus.
A test used to evaluate the interaction between sperm and cervical mucus
A diagnostic test for infertility in which vaginal and cervical secretions are obtained following intercourse and then analyzed under a microscope.
A standard fertility test in which a sample of cervical mucus is taken after intercourse to check the number and behavior of the sperm.
Microscopic study of samples of vaginal and cervical secretions taken several hours after sexual relations and examined for live, moving sperm. Also known as Sims-Huhner Test.
Microscopic study of samples of cervical secretions taken several hours after sexual relations and the quality of cervical mucus and the movement of sperm are examined. Also known as Sims-Huhner Test.
A diagnostic test that evaluates the amount and quality of cervical mucus, and the interaction of sperm and cervical mucus.
(PCT) A test of: (1) receptiveness of the cervical mucus to sperm; and (2) sperm motility -- both of which are needed for the test to be a positive test. It's essential that the test be done to coincide with ovulation, tested with a urinary LH kit or measurements of serum estradiol (high), serum LH (preferably high) and serum progesterone (still low), because the job description of the cervical mucus at other times is to be impenetrable to sperm (i.e. the PCT will be negative for normal reasons).
The postcoital test (PCT) is a test in the evaluation of infertility. It was apparently first performed by J. Marion Sims and later described by Max Huhner, thus it has also been called Sims-Huhner Test.
