Couples who use urine tests to track their fertility are more likely to get pregnant, scientists say.
Women who pinpointed their most fertile days had up to a 28 per cent chance of conceiving each month.
Meanwhile, those who had sex when they pleased had an 18 per cent likelihood of falling pregnant per month.
However, the team from the London-based research institute Cochrane noted there was only evidence that urine tests worked.
It means the jury is still out on cycle-tracking apps, which have been downloaded by millions of women across the world.
Dr Tatjana Gibbons, who led the study, noted that more research is needed into any negative effects of timed sex, such as increased stress among couples.
Researchers, who studied more than 2,000 women, found that those who used urine tests to time sex for days when they were fertile had a 20 to 28 per cent chance of conceiving every month. Meanwhile, those who had sex as and when they pleased had just an 18 per cent likelihood of falling pregnant per month
