Follicular Tracking Ultrasound Scan

£197

Our Follicular Tracking Scan offers an assessment of the size and growth of the follicles within the ovaries, how the progress correlates with where you are in your cycle or responsiveness to treatment stimulation.

Also, we will assess the womb, lining of the womb, fallopian tubes and surrounding structures. This type of scan aims to ensure normal growth of the dominant follicle or stimulated follicles to appropriately time natural conception or any form of assisted conception (such as IVF), as well as to rule out any structural cause that might explain difficulty conceiving, recurrent miscarriages, generalised pelvic pain or any other related issue and female patients over 18 years old.

Abdominal pain is the most common reason for having an Abdominal Ultrasound diagnostic examination, includes the evaluation of the Liver, Gallbladder, Kidney, Spleen, Pancreas, Abdominal Aorta, and the Biliary system.

Here we provide a few questions and answers to offer you more information about your Abdomen private ultrasound scan:

Follicular Tracking Scan in London: A Key Step on Your Fertility Journey

When you’re trying to conceive, timing is everything. A follicular tracking scan is a crucial ultrasound examination that provides a detailed, real-time look at your ovarian follicles: the small sacs where eggs grow and mature. At London Private Ultrasound, we offer a comprehensive follicular tracking service to help you understand your ovulation cycle, monitor your response to fertility treatments, and increase your chances of a successful pregnancy.

What is a Follicular Tracking Scan?

A follicular tracking scan is a type of ultrasound that precisely measures the size and number of follicles in your ovaries. By monitoring their growth over several days, our expert sonographers can predict the optimal time for ovulation. This information is vital for:

  • Natural Conception: pinpointing the most fertile window in your cycle.

  • Assisted Reproduction: a critical part of IVF, IUI, and other fertility treatments to monitor how your ovaries are responding to hormonal stimulation.

The scan also provides a detailed assessment of your uterus, including the thickness of the endometrial lining, ensuring it is prepared for a potential pregnancy.

What to Expect During Your Scan

Your follicular tracking scan is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure. It is performed using a transvaginal ultrasound, which provides the clearest and most accurate images of the ovaries and uterus.

During the scan, our compassionate and highly trained sonographer will:

  1. Assess Follicle Growth: Measure the size of all developing follicles in each ovary.

  2. Evaluate Endometrial Lining: Check the thickness and appearance of the lining of the womb to ensure it is receptive.

  3. Predict Ovulation: Based on the growth of the follicles, we can predict when you are most likely to ovulate.

The scan typically takes around 15-20 minutes. You will receive immediate feedback and a detailed report to share with your fertility specialist or GP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many follicular tracking scans will I need? The number of scans depends on your menstrual cycle and the fertility treatment you are undergoing. You may need to have several scans over a few days to accurately track follicle growth.

When in my cycle should I have my first scan? Your first scan is typically scheduled for Day 2 or 3 of your menstrual cycle, as advised by your fertility doctor. We can then schedule follow-up scans based on your individual needs.

Is the scan painful? No, the scan is generally painless. You may feel some minimal pressure from the transvaginal probe, but it should not cause pain.

What does the scan show? The scan shows the size and number of follicles, the thickness of the endometrial lining, and can identify other factors that may affect fertility, such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids.
