[The prognostic value of the postcoital and post-insemination test].

Artificial inseminations with the semen of the husband (pre- and intracervical, intrauterine AIH) were carried out on 201 infertile women. Even though 41 women conceived on insemination, 16 of these and 38 of the unsuccessfully treated women actually became later pregnant without medical aid. An attempt to judge the eventual chances of success of AIH from the results of the PCT and PIT failed, as there was no correlation between the number and percentage of motile spermatozoa in cervical mucus post coitum and post inseminationem and the number of pregnancies. There was no clinical correlate for the differences observed between the results of the PCT and PIT.
