Most people know that a sonogram can help them see a baby before birth, so long as the pregnancy is between its 20th to 36th week.
What you may not know is that certain sonograms also play a role in helping parents who are trying to conceive. A follicular ultrasound exists to evaluate the uterus and the ovaries.
Doctors often prescribe them to patients using fertility treatments and hormone supplements.
What does a follicular sonogram monitor?
A follicular sonogram monitors the growth of ovarian follicles, which contain immature eggs. They also verify whether ovulation has occurred, help diagnose conditions such as PCOS, and help doctors track growth patterns.
How do follicular sonograms help?
With the kind of personalized information follicular sonograms provide, they offer an excellent way for ensuring that IVF and IUI fertility treatments are as effective as possible.
Thus, the time and money you put into fertility treatments is more likely to pay off!
What should you expect during a follicular sonogram?
A follicular sonogram is a transvaginal sonogram, so you should arrive relaxed and hydrated. It should not hurt and usually only takes 10-15 minutes.
The sonographer then will take all the images doctors need to evaluate the state of your ovarian follicles, and whether or not unusual cysts are appearing on the scan.
