Follicular Monitoring
Precise Ovulation Tracking in Mumbai
Series of painless ultrasound scans performed at regular intervals to assess the growth and development of ovarian follicles, helping to time intercourse or fertility procedures optimally for maximum success.
Each ultrasound scan takes 5-10 minutes; typically 3-4 scans per cycle
Understanding the Treatment
Follicular monitoring is a crucial component of many fertility treatments at our Mumbai clinic. Using transvaginal ultrasound, we track the development of follicles (fluid-filled sacs containing eggs) in your ovaries throughout your menstrual cycle.
This precise monitoring allows us to identify the optimal time for conception, whether through natural intercourse, IUI, or IVF. At Dr. Vrushni Bhuta's clinic in Powai and Santacruz, we use high-resolution ultrasound equipment to provide accurate assessments.
Follicular monitoring is particularly important when using fertility medications, as it helps us adjust dosages and timing to maximize your chances of success while minimizing risks like multiple pregnancy or ovarian hyperstimulation.
The Treatment Process
Baseline Scan
On day 2-3 of your menstrual cycle, we perform an initial ultrasound to assess your ovaries and ensure there are no cysts or abnormalities before starting treatment.
Mid-Cycle Monitoring
Starting around day 8-10, we perform regular ultrasounds (every 2-3 days) to measure follicle size and endometrial thickness. Each scan takes just 5-10 minutes.
Hormone Level Checks
We may also check blood hormone levels (estradiol, LH) to confirm follicle maturity and predict ovulation timing.
Trigger Timing
When follicles reach optimal size (18-22mm), we advise on the best timing for intercourse, IUI, or trigger injection for egg retrieval.
Post-Ovulation Confirmation
A final scan may be performed to confirm ovulation has occurred and assess the corpus luteum.
