As part of fertility treatment, you may be told when to have intercourse (“doctor prescribed sex”). If you’re taking Clomid, your doctor will help you choose the best day to boost conception.

Your doctor may tell you to use an ovulation prediction kit at home. Alternatively, she may detect your most fertile days for you by using ultrasound and blood work to predict ovulation.

This can be very stressful for a couple. Some men may experience performance anxiety. To cope, consider making a date of your “scheduled sex,” maintaining a sense of humor about the situation, and being patient with one another.
