He basically looks at whether my cm is good, and whether the sperm are still alive in it. There are some problems that can be overruled that way. I think many drs. may just prescribe IUI and skip this altogether for those women who don't conceive after medical treatment and naturally trying.. so maybe you would not need it following that progression. I am glad that I had it done, it was simple and painless and I got to see my husband's sperm swimming in my clear mucus, so I know that was not a problem. Also, it was not an expensive test.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-64767865103150618572007-02-03T20:08:00.000-05:002007-02-03T20:08:00.000-05:00I know you posted this a long time ago but I just ...I know you posted this a long time ago but I just had to add that this was the WORST test that I did out of total embarrassment. Not only did they know I just had sex with my husband, I was leaking on the table. Leaking love juice!

The doctor I saw recently said, imagine a picture of a station after the train has just left. The post coital test is like using that picture to estimate how many people got on the train. <BR/><BR/>Nuff said, in my opinion. So I'd amend this write up to say, if your doctor suggests one, ask why and if they insist, look for another doctor who has better kept up to speed with developments in fertility treatments.Thaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125639207843989848noreply@blogger.com
