What Are Follicle Tracking Ultrasound Scans?

If you have been seeing a fertility specialist, you might have heard the term follicle already; it is regularly discussed in pregnancy scans when trying to get pregnant. A follicle is a fluid-filled sac that contains the egg; we can perform a follicle tracking scan between the sixth and ninth day of your menstrual cycle. We can see if your body is ready for IVF treatment; it is a sign that you can stimulate ovulation if we see what we are looking for.

The ultrasound probe used is perfect for a transvaginal scan, and once the scans are performed, we can tell if you have any active follicles, the critical message you need to pass back to your fertility specialist.

Here at Ultrasound Plus, we recommend having three follicle tracking scans carried out using an ultrasound scan machine; this is ideal for all areas of fertility treatment; this needs to be done during one menstrual cycle.

When we carry out the ultrasound scan, we will make sure you are given a full ultrasound report with our findings, believe it or not, but an ultrasound scan is much more accurate than blood tests and other tests on the market today.

What is the purpose of a follicle tracking scan?

The purpose of a follicle tracking scan is to accurately predict when you may expect ovulation which will help increase the chance of the egg becoming fertilized. This form of ultrasound is regularly recommended during a fertility treatment course; the scan is performed by a professional sonographer who can look and determine whether or not you are at the proper follicular growth for your ovaries to be fertilised.

A transvaginal/internal scan may be necessary during this scan to gain a clearer view. If you require a female sonographer or a consultant, please speak to one of our advisors at the time of your booking. We will advise you that three follicle tracking scans will be needed for optimal results, this is subsequent scans over the same cycle; once we see the fluid-filled sacs, we will provide you with a full report to take back to your fertility doctor.

Follicle Ultrasound with Ultrasound Plus

Ultrasound Plus offers a comprehensive follicle ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and antral follicle count. This procedure is used to diagnose and monitor polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

The follicle ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of the ovaries. During the procedure, the technician will use a transducer to send sound waves into the abdomen. The sound waves will bounce off the ovaries and create an image on the monitor. The technician will then count the number of antral follicles present in each ovary.

The antral follicle count is an important indicator of ovarian reserve, which is the number of eggs available for fertilization. A low antral follicle count may indicate a decreased ovarian reserve, which can be caused by PCOS or OHSS. A high antral follicle count may indicate an increased ovarian reserve, which can be caused by PCOS or OHSS.

The follicle ultrasound is a safe and effective way to assess ovarian reserve and antral follicle count. It is important to note that the results of the follicle ultrasound are not definitive and should be used in conjunction with other tests to diagnose PCOS or OHSS.

Ultrasound Plus offers a comprehensive follicle ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and antral follicle count. This procedure is safe, non-invasive, and can provide valuable information about the health of the ovaries.
