    What is Follicular Monitoring?

    Follicular monitoring is a series of ultrasound scans, sometimes with blood tests, that track how follicles develop across a menstrual cycle. It helps identify when ovulation is likely to occur.

    Monitoring is often used to support ovulation induction, IUI, and IVF, or simply to understand ovulation timing.

    How Follicular Monitoring works

    Scans are carried out at intervals across the cycle to measure the size and number of developing follicles and to assess the lining of the uterus.

    This information helps guide the timing of insemination, egg retrieval, or intercourse, depending on your plan.
