"Post Coital Test determines the quality of cervical mucus fertilization.
However, in some cases, there is an incompatibility between the sperm and cervical mucus, causing the sperms to become immobile or die, thus preventing fertilization.It evaluates the interaction between the sperm and cervical mucus at a time near ovulation to determine if an incompatibility exists. The PCT is a poor predictor of pregnancy success, but may be useful to determine the need for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).
If after the initial workup and evaluation tests, it has been established that the female partner is ovulating properly, her tubes are not blocked and the Male Partner’s semen analysis is normal, Doctor’s may order a Post Coital Test to rule out any other cervical mucus related abnormalities using this test..."
