Paradoxical are the results relative to conception following a positive or negative Sims-Hühner test (SH). For that reason we decided to look for the presence of sperm in peritoneal fluid of five patients with good and five with poor or negative SH. In three of five patients with a positive SH and in four of five with a poor SH sperm was found in the aspirate. The results illustrate the limitations of this long-accepted test in the prognosis of infertile couples.
