Putting "for conceiving" back, although strictly it's for estimating ovulation timing. Yes "timing method" is too literal.

Also "timing method" seems to just be a bad 直訳 (based on google results)

  Comments:
The thing is that it's NOT both in Japanese, just a method for getting pregnant, so the wording shouldn't be neutral.

  Comments:
Yes, the 不妊治療 reinforces that. How about the more neutral "fertility" which covers both?

mentioned in asahi keyword's 不妊治療 entry:
不妊原因がはっきりしない場合、一般的には、排卵に合わせ性交日を決める「タイミング法」や精液を濃縮し子宮に注入する「人工授精」など段階的に進めら
れ、「体外受精」へ移る。

  Comments:
In English, "rhytm method" etc. seems to mainly (but not exclusively) refer to using this method to not get pregnant, but in 
Japanese, it seems to be only about actually conceiving.
