Description

🌸 What Are Follicular Studies? Follicular studies involve a series of transvaginal ultrasound scans to monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles (fluid-filled sacs that contain eggs). These scans help track ovulation and determine the best time for conception. 🌟 Why Are Follicular Studies Important? Tracking Ovulation: Identifies when the egg is released for natural conception or assisted procedures like IUI/IVF. Assessing Ovarian Health: Monitors follicle size and overall ovarian function. Tailoring Treatments: Guides fertility treatments, such as timed intercourse or hormone therapy. 🔍 What Happens During a Follicular Study? The process begins on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and continues at intervals until ovulation is confirmed. Ultrasounds measure: Follicle Growth: Ideal size for ovulation is 18–25 mm. Endometrial Thickness: A healthy lining (>7 mm) is essential for implantation. The frequency and number of scans vary based on individual response and treatment protocols.
