Sperm counts in enzymatically liquefied cervical mucus: quantitative validation using donor cervical mucus.
The post-coital test evaluates the penetration of spermatozoa into cervical mucus; it relies on subjective measurements and therefore lacks precision. Enzymatic liquefaction of cervical mucus allows sperm concentration to be measured in post-coital test samples, but the reliability of such measurements is not known. Donor cervical mucus was used as a model to test the accuracy and sensitivity o...
متن کاملQuantitative post-coital test: sperm counts in cervical mucus after enzymatic liquefaction.
The post-coital test involves direct microscopic examination of sperm number and motility in cervical mucus. The results depend on the quality of the mucus and the distribution of spermatozoa within the sample. To progress from such qualitative data to quantitative measurements of the spermatozoa present in post-coital mucus, we have developed methods to measure sperm concentrations in enzymati...

متن کاملCervical mucus arborization in the Rhesus monkey.
Cyclic variations in the quality of cervical mucus were evaluated in the monkey. A characteristic pattern was observed. On the day before ovulation maximal fern production was noted, with a dramatic regression in fern pattern in the subsequent day. A consistent correlation with changes in vaginal cytology was not observed. Daily examination of fern pattern provides a reliable index for ovulatio...
