Follicle tracking

Repeat scans measuring follicle growth during a cycle.

Testing

Follicle tracking uses transvaginal scans every few days, often with blood tests, to measure how many follicles are growing and how large they are. The results guide dose changes and decide when to give the trigger injection. Expect several early-morning monitoring appointments during a stimulation cycle.

Also known as: follicle scan, tracking scans, monitoring scans
