Timed intercourse is the simplest reproductive technique. It is used for simple cases, usually in young women with a short time of infertility. It is an easy and cheap technique that tries to optimise natural conditions.

It involves gently stimulating ovulation and monitoring the woman until she is close to ovulation. We help the ovulation process with an ovulation inducing drug and indicate the best time for the couple to have intercourse.

Timed intercourse is very often used in women with chronic anovulation, usually due to polycystic ovary syndrome, who need ovulation induction treatment in order to have regular cycles.
