Follicle monitoring is a method of tracking, measuring and evaluating the development of follicles inside a woman's ovaries through ultrasound. It is used to assist the doctor in understanding the number, size, and development of follicles to determine the best time to ovulate. This process is often used in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies, such as artificial insemination or IVF, to increase the success rate of pregnancy. So why do follicles be monitored?Let's take a look.
Why follicle monitoring?
1. Determine the timing of ovulation: Follicle monitoring can help doctors determine the timing of ovulation in a woman's menstrual cycle. During monitoring, an ultrasound allows the doctor to observe and measure the size and number of follicles. When natural ovulation or individualized planning with assisted reproductive technology is required, it is important to accurately determine the timing of ovulation.
2. Assess follicle development: Follicle monitoring can help doctors understand the development of follicles. Doctors can assess a woman's ovarian function and follicle quality based on the size, number, and development of the follicles. This is important to determine if a woman's ovulation function is normal and whether adjuncts are needed to increase the quality and quantity of eggs.
3. Adjust the plan: The results of follicle monitoring can help doctors adjust the plan of assisted reproductive technology. If the follicles are underdeveloped or ovulation is not timed properly, your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or timing of your hormone** or choose a different regimen to improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.
4. Monitoring of hypergonadotropin (GNRH)**Follicle monitoring is also used for monitoring the process of hypergonadotropin**. Hypergonadotropin, a drug that promotes egg development and ovulation, is often used as an IVF cycle or other assisted reproduction**. Follicle monitoring can help doctors determine how to respond and how well a drug is working so that it can be continued or stopped at the right time**.
Follicle monitoring is very important for women who wish to become pregnant. Because by monitoring and evaluating the development of the follicles, doctors are able to determine the optimal timing of ovulation, assess ovarian function, adjust the plan, and monitor the effects of assisted reproduction. This helps to increase the pregnancy success rate.
