Women who are planning on trying to conceive by natural method or under fertility treatment, ultrasounds are commonly done to evaluate the uterus and the ovaries. Follicular ultrasounds evaluate the ovaries thoroughly and determine how many follicles or "cysts" are present that might yield an egg. Patients undergoing fertility treatments and hormone supplements, will produce many follicles and the size, quantity, and appearance of those follicles is important. Based upon the size, the patient may know that ovulation is approaching and be able to plan for insemination, intercourse or appropriate egg implantation. In addition to viewing the ovaries in great depth, the uterus is of importance also because the lining (endometrium) thickness will vary based upon where that patient is in her fertility cycle or menstrual cycle.
