Abstract
The ability to predetermine the arrival of ovulation can obviously enhance the chances of conception, and this is a subject that has intrigued fertility clinicians and researchers for many years. To the time honored methods of charting the basal body temperature and of examination of cervical mucus have now been added new information and new approaches that improve the accuracy of this aid to infertility treatment.
