OI is useful for many situations. It is commonly suggested as a treatment:
- If a couple has a short history of unexplained infertility, that is all the tests cannot identify a cause for their infertility
- If the female partner has PCOS or another condition causing difficulty with egg growth and release
- If the female partner has mild or moderate endometriosis
- If the female partner has one blocked tube (or absent tube) and one open tube on testing
- In women over 40 years wishing a pregnancy
