What is Follicular study?
Follicular study is a baseline fertility treatment where a series of ultrasound scans are performed to closely monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles.
These scans help track the maturity of the dominant follicle, allowing healthcare experts to accurately predict ovulation.
For couples trying to conceive, accurately predicting ovulation is crucial as timing intercourse around the time of ovulation significantly increases the chances of conception.
Why is Follicular Study Done?
The primary purpose of performing a follicular study is to find the exact time of ovulation as having intercourse during ovulation can significantly impact the chances of pregnancy.
How is the Follicular Study Done?
In the first few visits, the fertility expert performs a transvaginal ultrasound to closely monitor the growth and development of the follicles.
Once this dominant follicle matures and reaches around 20 mm in size, an HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) injection is given in order to rupture the egg to induce ovulation.
Ovulation typically occurs 36-48 hours after the HCG shot. Healthcare experts recommend having intercourse around this time to increase the chances of conception.
Best Time to Do a Follicular Study
The best time to do a follicular study is between day 8 and day 20 of the menstrual cycle.
