Hi,I am Dr. Aniruddha Malpani (Infertility Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Today we went for a postcoital test though i have not yet pregnant since the last 1 year. The test refers sluggish sperms 3 -4 and dead sperms 15- 20. What will be my problem? and how can I overcome..... Is there any problem with my cervical mucus. We have done this test 4 hours after intercourse.
Hi, Postcoital test is a test done to detect antisperm antibodies in the cervical mucus. If it is present it will be seen as sluggish sperms and dead sperms under the microscope. If the semen analysis report is normal, it would be better to undergo intrauterine insemination in and around ovulation time. The chance of pregnancy increases by 15-20%. There is nothing to worry much about this problem.
