Medicated Timed Intercourse:
A First Step

Enhancing Your Chances

Medicated timed intercourse is a fertility treatment method designed to enhance a woman’s chances of conceiving by using medications to stimulate ovulation and then timing intercourse to coincide with the peak fertility period. This approach is often recommended for women who have irregular ovulation cycles or have PCOS. By stimulating ovulation with medication, the likelihood of releasing a mature egg increases, and by timing intercourse precisely, the chances of sperm meeting the egg are optimized. Dr. Nastaran Foyouzi, a leading expert in genetics and reproductive endocrinology at Southern California Fertility Center, is crucial in guiding patients through this process and ensuring personalized and effective treatment plans.

Time Tested Safe & Effective Medications

Several medications may be used in medicated cycles to stimulate ovulation. Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs. It works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain, which leads to an increase in the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), stimulating the ovaries to produce one or more mature eggs. Another commonly used medication is letrozole (Femara), which is an aromatase inhibitor that reduces estrogen levels and subsequently increases FSH production. In some cases, injectable gonadotropins, which directly stimulate the ovaries, may be used to induce ovulation. These medications are carefully monitored through ultrasound and blood tests to ensure the optimal timing for intercourse.

Dr. Foyouzi with You Every Step of the Way

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Foyouzi, patients undergo regular monitoring to track the development of follicles and determine the best time for intercourse. This monitoring is essential to avoid the risks of multiple pregnancies and to ensure that ovulation occurs as planned. Dr. Foyouzi’s experience and precision in managing these medications help to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy while minimizing potential complications.
