A woman's ovaries contain numerous sacs filled with eggs. They are known as follicles. As the eggs mature, these follicles develop. The dominant follicle lets one egg after around 15 days from the beginning of a menstrual cycle called ovulation. Additionally, ovaries produce eggs alternately every other months.
The egg moves through the fallopian tube after ovulation. If there are any sperms currently present, the egg fuses with one to form an embryo. In the meantime, the uterus thickens and prepares for the fertilized egg. The embryo then attaches itself to the uterus wall to form into a baby over the months.
Hence, a follicular study is a process to notice and track the development and conduct of the follicles. Likewise, it is necessary to predict the chance of fertilization.
When is it done?
The scans for a follicular study will start around the seventh day of your cycle and go on until you ovulate. Moreover, the specialist gynaecologist will decide the interval between scans after every sitting. Besides, scans are usually performed on various days to track the growth and development of the eggs. Also, the scans are more frequent around the time of ovulation.
Follicular studies are an important part of fertility management because they help couples and doctors understand and control the process of reproduction. The information obtained through this monitoring is significant for optimizing fertility treatments and improving on the possibilities of a successful pregnancy.
