A follicular study is an essential fertility test that maps how your ovaries respond throughout the menstrual cycle. The process involves serial ultrasound scans that record the size, number, and maturity of ovarian follicles and the thickness of the endometrium.

Typical monitoring begins in the early follicular phase and continues every two to four days until ovulation or follicle rupture is observed. Dominant follicles are measured in millimetres so clinicians can time intercourse or procedures with greater accuracy. Antral follicle count and follicular growth rate help fertility specialists decide whether stimulation or natural timing is appropriate.

Alongside follicle tracking, endometrial pattern and thickness are noted because they influence implantation potential. Clear imaging also documents whether multiple follicles are maturing, which is important for assisted reproduction planning.

All scans are non invasive and use high resolution ultrasound equipment to capture reliable images. At Dr. Ashwini’s Scans and Labs, each session includes careful documentation of follicle diameter, endometrial measurement, and recommended timing based on observed growth.

The cumulative data forms a concise fertility profile that helps couples and clinicians optimize conception efforts with confidence and medical clarity.
