Follicular tracking, ovulation triggering and timed intercourse — the simplest fertility intervention, done meticulously.
For many couples — particularly those with mild PCOS, irregular cycles or unexplained infertility of short duration — properly monitored timed cycles can achieve pregnancy without IUI or IVF. The catch is that 'properly monitored' means 4–5 scans per cycle, accurate trigger timing and a clinic that can see you within 12 hours when you call.
Some patients ovulate well on their own and only need accurate timing — a natural-cycle protocol with 3–4 scans and a precisely timed trigger. Others, particularly those with PCOS or anovulation, benefit from gentle stimulation with letrozole 2.5–5 mg or low-dose gonadotropins. The aim is always one or two mature follicles — never more, because the risk of high-order multiples is real and avoidable.
Three to four well-monitored, well-timed cycles is enough to know whether this approach will work. Beyond that, the per-cycle success doesn't increase, and we usually move to IUI or IVF depending on age, reserve and male factor. Continuing indefinitely with timed cycles is one of the most common reasons couples lose precious years — we will be honest with you about when to switch.
Pre-conception folate, weight optimisation, treatment of any thyroid or vitamin D deficiency, and stopping smoking and alcohol all matter as much as the scans. For PCOS patients, even a 5% weight reduction often restores ovulation entirely. We integrate the wellness arm of care into every monitored cycle.
Yes — without scans, most couples mistime the fertile window by 1–2 days. Trigger-timed intercourse closes that gap and converts those 'almost' months into real chances.
Absolutely. Scans take 10 minutes. We schedule them around your day, and our morning clinic is built for working professionals.
They help, but they confirm ovulation has happened — they don't tell you whether the follicle is mature or whether you ovulated at all. Scans are the only reliable way to know.
