Follicular Study

These are some grounds for considering follicular monitoring:

1. Let’s say you are under 35 years old and have been trying to conceive for around a year. You can rule out issues associated to ovulation in this first phase.
2. If you are older than 35 and have not been able to conceive in the previous six months.
3. You might have an irregular period and ovulation if you have PCOD. You could also have cycles without ovulation.
4. If using fertility medications to induce ovulation or multiple follicles through IUI or IVF.

On day 6 or 7 of your cycle, the doctor will advise you to get the endovaginal scan. However, it is predicated on the notion that you have a 28-day cycle. Every two to three days, she will continue to remind you to come in for the scans.
Follicle tracking involves a series of 5- to 10-minute long ultrasound scans through the vagina. The ninth day of the cycle is when the follicles begin to grow. Once ovulation has begun and the follicles have disappeared from view, the scans stop. After that, having sex is advised for couples. As it optimises the time for the sperm and egg to meet, it promotes in conception.

The doctor assesses the follicles’ size. The endometrium, which makes up the uterus’s wall, is also measured for thickness. A Doppler scan may also be used by the physician to examine the blood flow to the endometrium and follicle. For a healthy pregnancy, an average mature follicle size of 18 to 25 mm and an endometrial thickness of at least 10 mm are considered normal.

1.  Some follicles never develop. The scans assist in finding them.
2. It’s possible that the endometrial lining is either too thin or too poor quality.
3. For assisted conception, scans can assist with ovulation timing prediction.
4. They aid in guiding ovulation-inducing medication or injectable therapies.
5. To find issues like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) and other complications.

Doctors and other medical professionals regularly monitor these problems to ensure that, if something go wrong, it can be found and fixed right away.
Lastly, luteal phase deficit can be found via follicular scanning
