you can make the body get accustomed to antisperm antibodies by having frequent sex. this will train the body to recognize sperm not as the enemy but as a friend.

this is one of the most common reasons for infertility. somehow the woman's body see sperm as foreign object and do everything to destroy it.

Apparently a woman's body gets used to the foreign substance...

IBT was one of the few tests we had to undertake early on. We got OK results.

An IBT can detect different kinds of antisperm antibodies in several biological samples, including blood, cervical mucous and sperm. The test can indicate the class and the severity of the antibodies and what part of the sperm is affected. In a blood sample, an IBT test can reveal whether the antibodies originate from contact with blood or around the reproductive organs.
