How many times should ovulation monitoring be done?

The follicle monitoring room is a relatively important detection method. First of all, it can detect whether the female follicles are healthy and whether there are any problems. Because if there is a problem with the follicles, it will affect the female's conception. In addition to the necessary regular follicle monitoring, this also has a good effect on promoting pregnancy. Generally speaking, follicle monitoring can start from the 8th day of the menstrual cycle. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How many times should ovulation monitoring be done?

Generally speaking, starting from the 8th day of the menstrual cycle, ultrasound monitoring should be done once every 2 days. When the diameter of the follicle is found to be 17 mm, monitoring should be changed to once a day. When the follicle matures and reaches a diameter of 20-23 mm, it should be measured twice a day if necessary until ovulation. The B-ultrasound probe frequency is 3.5MHz. Each monitoring is to observe the size and shape of both ovaries, record the number and size of follicles, the day of menstruation, etc.

For infertile women with regular menstrual cycles and biphasic basal body temperature, people often think that their follicular development is normal and neglect further examination. In fact, abnormal follicular development and ovulation are relatively common in such cases. It is very important to use B-ultrasound to monitor the detailed follicular development of women of childbearing age, especially infertile women, to confirm whether their follicles are mature, whether they ovulate and the time of ovulation, so as to provide a reliable basis for clinical symptomatic treatment.

What is follicle monitoring?

The most important function of the ovaries is to produce eggs. Well-developed follicles and accurate ovulation dates lay the foundation for eugenics and good parenting. During the diagnosis of infertility, it is often necessary to monitor the follicles to see if there is normal ovarian growth, development, and discharge. This examination seems troublesome, but it is very important and has important clinical significance.

Method of follicle monitoring: Follicle monitoring is to perform ultrasound examination from the end of menstruation to monitor the size and number of follicles. By around the 14th day of menstruation, the follicle will reach 15-25 mm, which means it is a mature follicle and can ovulate, making it easiest to get pregnant at this time. If no mature follicles are detected, conception will not occur. Gynecologists at Yantai New Phoenix Gynecological Hospital suggest the time for follicle monitoring. Generally, starting from the 8th day of the menstrual cycle, ultrasound monitoring should be done every 2 days. When the diameter of the follicle is found to be 17 mm, monitoring should be changed to once a day. When the follicle matures and reaches a diameter of 20-23 mm, it should be measured twice a day if necessary until ovulation. The B-ultrasound probe frequency is 3.5MHz. Each monitoring is to observe the size and shape of both ovaries, record the number and size of follicles, the day of menstruation, etc.

Performance of follicle monitoring: performance of ovaries and follicles during ovulation cycle. Characteristics of mature follicles: The largest follicle monitored by B-ultrasound appears on the 10th to 16th day of menstruation. The follicle is 20mm in diameter, round in shape, with thin walls, protruding to one side of the ovary, and has good internal sound permeability. Ovulation usually occurs within 10 hours, and the ovulation time is mostly between the 12th and 18th day of menstruation, and a few may occur between 20th and 30th days.
