Sperm-cervical mucus penetration test is a preliminary diagnostic test useful for infertile couples with no obvious anatomical and physiological abnormality. Cervical mucus constitutes first selection barrier for the selection of the healthiest sperm for fertilization of the ovum. The sperm-cervical mucus interaction test is useful in accessing the incapability of the hostile cervical mucus. This test can also help physicians in diagnosis of antisperm antibodies in the partner. This chapter presents the importance of this simple but useful test in the diagnosis and management of infertility.
