YOUR JOURNEY, STEP BY STEP
01 — Fertility Evaluation
Your journey begins by understanding your menstrual cycles, medical history and fertility concerns.
Your specialist may recommend hormone tests, ultrasound, ovarian reserve assessment and other relevant investigations. Evaluation of the male partner may also be recommended before treatment.
02 — Personalised Treatment Planning
Once we understand your fertility needs, your specialist determines whether ovulation induction with timed intercourse may be appropriate for you.
The medication, dose and monitoring plan are selected according to factors such as your age, menstrual cycle, ovulation pattern and underlying fertility concerns.

03 — Ovulation Induction
Fertility medications may be prescribed to encourage the development and release of an egg.
The aim is to support ovulation while carefully monitoring how your ovaries respond to treatment.
04 — Follicular Monitoring
Ultrasound scans are used to monitor follicle development and help identify when ovulation is likely to occur.
Depending on your treatment plan, additional testing or a trigger injection may be recommended to help appropriately time ovulation.

Timed Intercourse & The Wait
Once the fertile window is identified, your specialist advises you when intercourse may be appropriately timed to improve the opportunity for sperm and egg to meet naturally. This timing-based approach is a core part of OI-TI.
A pregnancy test is then planned at the appropriate time.
A GENTLER FIRST STEP IN FERTILITY CARE
Supporting Natural Conception With the Right Guidance
Ovulation induction with timed intercourse can be considered when ovulation is irregular or absent, including in some women with PCOS or hormonal concerns. It combines medical support with natural conception rather than laboratory fertilisation.
At GEN Fertility, treatment begins with understanding why ovulation may be affected before deciding how best to support it.

Fertile Window Guidance

Clear & Compassionate Support
Understanding Ovulation Induction & Timed Intercourse
Ovulation induction uses fertility medications to encourage ovulation in women who may not ovulate regularly. The ovaries are monitored and the couple is guided on appropriately timing intercourse around the fertile window.
It may be considered for selected women with irregular or absent ovulation, including ovulation concerns associated with PCOS or certain hormonal imbalances. Whether it is suitable depends on the couple’s overall fertility evaluation.
Yes. Ovulation induction with timed intercourse does not involve egg retrieval, laboratory fertilisation or embryo transfer.
Treatment is generally planned around one menstrual cycle at a time. The exact timeline depends on your cycle, medication response and when ovulation occurs.
Outcomes vary according to factors such as age, underlying cause of infertility, ovulation response and the couple’s overall reproductive health.
FAQs
It’s natural to have questions during the treatment journey. Here are some answers to help you understand OITI with greater clarity.
1. What is ovulation induction with timed intercourse?
2. Who may benefit from ovulation induction?
3. Is ovulation induction the same as IVF?
No. Ovulation induction with timed intercourse supports ovulation and natural conception. IVF involves retrieving eggs, fertilising them in an embryology laboratory and subsequently transferring an embryo into the uterus.
4. How do I know when to have intercourse after ovulation induction?
Your fertility specialist monitors follicle development and estimates when ovulation is expected. You are then given guidance about appropriately timing intercourse around your fertile window.
5. How many cycles of ovulation induction can I try?
There isn't one fixed number suitable for everyone. Your specialist will consider your age, fertility diagnosis, response to medication and results of previous cycles before recommending whether to continue or consider another approach.
