Follicular Monitoring: Tracking Ovulation for Successful Conception

What is Follicular Monitoring?

Follicular Monitoring is a specialized ultrasound technique used to track the growth and development of ovarian follicles (which contain eggs) during a woman’s menstrual cycle. It helps in predicting ovulation and improving the chances of conception, especially for those undergoing fertility treatments like IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

Who Needs Follicular Monitoring?

Follicular monitoring is recommended for:

Women with Irregular Ovulation – Helps track unpredictable ovulation due to PCOS or hormonal imbalances.
Couples Facing Infertility Issues – Assists in optimizing the timing for natural conception.
Women Undergoing Ovulation Induction – Ensures correct response to medications like Clomid or Letrozole.
Patients Preparing for IUI or IVF – Determines the right time for egg retrieval or insemination.
Women with a History of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss – Ensures ovulation is occurring properly for a successful pregnancy.

How is Follicular Monitoring Done?

The process involves a series of transvaginal ultrasounds to monitor follicle growth and ovulation.

1️⃣ Initial Baseline Scan

2️⃣ Tracking Follicle Growth

3️⃣ Detecting Ovulation

4️⃣ Timed Intercourse, IUI, or IVF
