Timed Intercourse

Timed intercourse (TI) is a straightforward fertility approach that focuses on having sexual intercourse during the most fertile days of a woman’s cycle. By aligning with the body’s natural rhythm, this method increases the chances of conception. It is often suggested for couples trying naturally or alongside fertility treatments.

Why Choose Timed Intercourse?

This method is beneficial for couples who:

Want to improve their chances of conceiving naturally

Want to improve their chances of conceiving naturally

Have irregular or regular cycles but are unsure about the right timing

Have been trying to conceive without success for some time

Prefer a non-invasive, cost-effective option before advanced treatments

Are undergoing ovulation induction with medicines like Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole

Face mild male infertility or unexplained fertility issues

Understanding the Fertile Window

Fertile Window: 6 days before and including the day of ovulation

Peak Fertility: 2 days before and the day of ovulation

Egg Lifespan: 12–24 hours after release

Sperm Lifespan: 3–5 days in the female reproductive tract

Best Timing: Intercourse every 1–2 days during Days 10–16 of a typical 28-day cycle

Tracking Ovulation for Accuracy

Couples can identify the fertile window through:

Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs) – Detect the LH surge before ovulation

Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Charting – A small rise in temperature signals ovulation

Cervical Mucus Observation – Clear, stretchy mucus indicates peak fertility

Follicular Ultrasound Scans – Conducted at Manasi Clinic for precise ovulation tracking

Tips to Maximize Success

IUI: Processed donor sperm is inserted directly into the uterus during ovulation

IVF: Donor sperm fertilizes eggs in the lab, and embryos are transferred to the uterus

Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up
Have sex every alternate day during the fertile window

Avoid lubricants that harm sperm – use fertility-safe lubricants if needed

Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking/alcohol

Manage stress effectively – it can interfere with fertility

Men should avoid excessive heat (tight clothes, hot tubs, saunas)
