Clinical data show that for many women with infertility and irregular menstruation, follicle monitoring can reveal follicular development and ovulation disorders.

Follicle monitoring can not only understand the growth process of follicles, but also predict the time of ovulation, determine the formation of corpus luteum, and play an important role in the diagnosis of abnormal follicular development, providing reliable information for the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological endocrine infertility.

Best time to monitor follicles

1. For women with regular menstruation: The monitoring time should be around 3 to 5 days before ovulation (around the 9th to 10th day of the menstrual cycle). Regardless of the length of the menstrual cycle, as long as the menstruation occurs regularly, the difference between two menstrual cycles does not exceed 7 days, and the ovulation day is generally about 14 days before the menstrual period. For women with regular menstruation, the luteal phase is fixed, while the follicular phase can be of varying length.

2. Follicle monitoring is suitable for women who have been trying to conceive for more than half a year but have not gotten pregnant and have irregular menstruation, such as women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Generally, it is best to observe the follicles by vaginal ultrasound on the 10th to 11th day from the start of menstruation. When the follicle grows to a size of 18-25mm, it is considered a mature follicle and can be stimulated for ovulation or wait for natural ovulation.

3. Generally speaking, it is best for women to do follicle testing 12-15 days after menstruation. The time and number of the next test will be determined based on the test results. Generally, about 5 tests are required.

In addition, women are prohibited from having sex the night before the test to avoid errors in the test.
