One-hundred-and-fourteen women of infertile marriages with negative post-coital test (PCT) results were studied. The women were divided into three grou those with anatomical anomalies of the cervix, abnormalities of the cervical mucus and a negative PCI and normal parameters in cervical mucus. Patients were treated with mestranol when the physicochemical characteristics of the cervical mucus were impaired. Those with antispermatozoal antibodies found by means of the Katsh test were treated with desensitizing therapy, condoms and homologous artificial insemination (AIH). Among all the patients therapy resulted in 23 pregnancies. After applying these treatments to women, 49 of them (43%) had positive PCT results.

Key words: sperm/cervical mucus/infertility

*Based on a paper presented at the joint meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and the European Sterility Congress Organization, Budapest, Hungary, September 27–30, 1987.
