Can I have sex before doing follicle monitoring?

When the couple feels that the conditions are ripe and they can prepare for pregnancy, they can do a pre-pregnancy check. One of the items in the pre-pregnancy check-up is the follicle test, which is a basic test to check whether a woman has ovulation abnormalities. Because this kind of examination is not very clear, many people have some questions, such as whether they can have sex when the follicles are being tested? What should they pay attention to during the test?

Follicle monitoring does not require control of sexual life, but there are still a few points to pay attention to during the test:

Note 1: Choose the right time for follicle monitoring. The first monitoring is usually done on the eighth day of menstruation, and then monitored once at the same time for two days to observe the continuous growth of the follicles. When the diameter of the follicles reaches 17mm, monitoring is done once a day. When the diameter of the follicles increases to 20mm, monitoring is done twice a day until ovulation.

Note 2: If a woman's menstrual cycle is stable at around 28 days, high-quality follicles can usually be found by monitoring the follicles on the tenth day. At this time, the diameter of the follicles is usually between 12-15mm.

Note three: Follicle monitoring must be done continuously. You cannot stop doing B-ultrasound just because high-quality follicles appear, because the presence of high-quality follicles does not mean that ovulation will occur or that the ovaries will mature.

Note 4: Some people have a longer menstrual cycle. For these women, you can choose to start follicle monitoring on the tenth day of menstruation.

Note 5: For some infertile women who are taking ovulation-inducing drugs, they should start follicle monitoring the next day after taking the drugs to ensure that the results of the B-ultrasound are accurate.

Although you do not need to avoid having sex when testing follicles, there are still many things you need to pay attention to. When you want to prepare for pregnancy, you should read the above content carefully to avoid inaccurate test data due to your lack of knowledge, and avoid going astray and wasting money.
