Prognostic value of post coital test in unexplained infertility

ABSTRACT

Sixty five couples with the diagnosis of unexplained infertility were monitored by post coital test [PCT] for 194 cycles. In each cycle the ovulation timing was determined by length of the menstrual cycle and serial cervical mucus scoring. Post coital test was graded as excellent, good, fair and poor. Pregnancy rate was highest [P 0.01] for cycles with excellent PCT and lowest for cycles graded as poor. Significantly more number of cycles [11.3] were required to achieve pregnancy when PCT was poor compared to when it was excellent [1.5]
