Fertility Scan & Folliculometry
Fertility Scan & Folliculometry
Fertility scan and folliculometry are essential diagnostic tools used to monitor ovarian function and track the growth and development of follicles during your menstrual cycle. Our advanced ultrasound technology allows us to accurately assess follicular development, determine the optimal time for ovulation, and guide fertility treatment decisions for the best possible outcomes.
At our fertility center, we use high-resolution ultrasound imaging to perform detailed follicular monitoring throughout your cycle. Our experienced sonographers and fertility specialists carefully track the size, number, and growth pattern of follicles, as well as endometrial thickness, to identify the most fertile window and optimize the timing of conception or assisted reproductive procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fertility Scan & Folliculometry
Find answers to the most commonly asked questions about fertility scans, follicular monitoring, and how ultrasound technology helps optimize your fertility treatment.
Folliculometry is a series of ultrasound scans that track the growth and development of ovarian follicles throughout your menstrual cycle. It is important because it helps us determine the exact timing of ovulation, monitor ovarian response to fertility medications, and optimize the timing of conception or assisted reproductive procedures like IUI or IVF.
The number of scans needed varies depending on your individual cycle and treatment plan. Typically, you will need 3-5 ultrasound scans per cycle, starting from day 8-10 of your cycle and continuing until ovulation is confirmed. Your fertility specialist will determine the appropriate monitoring schedule based on your follicular development and treatment protocol.
Fertility scans and folliculometry are generally painless and non-invasive procedures. The ultrasound is performed using a small probe, either transabdominally or transvaginally. While some women may experience mild discomfort, the procedure is quick and well-tolerated. Our team ensures you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the examination.
Your first fertility scan is typically scheduled on day 2-4 of your menstrual cycle for a baseline assessment, followed by regular monitoring starting around day 8-10. However, the exact timing may vary based on your individual treatment plan and cycle length. Your fertility specialist will provide you with a personalized schedule tailored to your specific needs.
