Postcoital examination of cervical mucus. Assessments include characteristics of the mucus as correlated with the phase of the woman’s menstrual cycle, and the number, morphology, motility, and ability of the sperm to cross the cervical mucus. To maximize potential for coincidental conception, the test may be scheduled 1 to 2 days before the expected date of ovulation and within 2 to 3 hr after intercourse.
