Ovulation Induction and Timed Intercourse (OI/TI)
What is OI/TI?
Ovulation Induction and Timed Intercourse (OI/TI) is a method where a woman’s ovarian cycle is closely tracked using ultrasound. Based on this monitoring, couples are advised to engage in sexual activity during the most fertile window, which typically spans 2-3 days around ovulation.
The success rate for this method falls between 5-10% per cycle and these rates can vary based on several factors, including the underlying cause of infertility, the age of the individuals involved and the specific treatment protocol used.
Who can opt for OI/TI?
If you resonate with any of the following, OI/TI might be your pathway to parenthood:
- You’ve been trying to conceive naturally for over a year without success
- You have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary (PCO) issues
