At God’s Grace IVF & Fertility Center, we understand that every step in your fertility journey matters. One of the most crucial steps in diagnosing and enhancing fertility is follicular monitoring. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or through assisted reproductive techniques like IUI or IVF, this simple yet effective procedure plays a vital role in optimizing your chances of success.
What is Follicular Monitoring?
Follicular monitoring is a series of transvaginal ultrasound scans conducted at regular intervals during a woman’s menstrual cycle. It is used to track the development and size of ovarian follicles, which are fluid-filled sacs that contain immature eggs. Monitoring helps determine the exact time of ovulation, ensuring timely intervention for conception.
Why is it Important?
Accurate timing is everything in fertility treatment. Follicular monitoring allows doctors to:
-
Predict ovulation with precision
-
Assess the response to ovulation-inducing medications
-
Determine the ideal time for intercourse, IUI, or egg retrieval in IVF
-
Identify problems such as anovulation (absence of ovulation) or poor follicular development
This non-invasive procedure offers clarity and control, giving couples the best chance at conception each cycle.
How is Follicular Monitoring Done?
-
Baseline Scan (Day 2–5): An initial scan is done to check the ovaries and endometrial lining.
-
Serial Scans (Day 9 onwards): Regular ultrasounds track follicle growth. Mature follicles typically measure around 18–24 mm.
-
Ovulation Trigger: Once the dominant follicle is ready, an hCG injection may be given to trigger ovulation.
-
Post-Ovulation Monitoring: Confirms egg release and assesses the uterine lining for implantation.
Each scan takes only a few minutes and is performed in a comfortable, private setting by our expert fertility specialists.
