“…A high proportion of the patients are keeping basal temperature charts and endometrial biopsies have been taken in many of the cycles. Recently, the amount of glucose present in the cervical mucosa (Birnberg, Kurzrok & Laufer, 1958;Doyle, 1958) at the time of collecting samples has been tested for, with two of the test papers marketed for the purpose of detecting glucose in urine (namely 'Tes-Tape' made by Eh Lilly & Co and 'Clinistix' made by Ames Company).

The consistency index of cervical mucus has been studied throughout the menstrual cycle in a group of 125 women. An attempt has been made to correlate consistency with other cyclical changes in mucus such as recoil, palm leaf reaction and tests for glucose content. The limits of consistency within which spermatozoa will move freely in mucus have been established from post-coital samples and invasion tests in vitro. The characteristics of twenty-four mucus samples obtained on the day when conception is known to have taken place are discussed.
