Timed Intercourse

This is the most basic treatment for infertility. May be tried in couples where no obvious cause of infertility has been discovered from the tests i.e. normal tubal patency, follicular development, and endometrial development, this procedure may include using a urine surge test kit to determine the time of ovulation upon which the couple is instructed on when to have intercourse, this is done to ensure that the sperm is in the fallopian tube at the time the egg is released and begins to travel down the tube.

A more advanced form of this treatment may include a monitoring ultrasound to determine follicular development and the development of the uterine endometrium (lining). A trigger shot of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) can be given to induce ovulation and set up the timing for intercourse.
