Follicle Tracking Scan: What Is It and Why Do I Need One?

Follicle Tracking Scan: What It Is and Why You Need One

A follicle tracking scan is a type of ultrasound that looks at the size and number of follicles (eggs) in each ovary. Follicles are fluid-filled sacs that contain eggs. People choose to have Follicle Tracking Scans for different reasons, such as:

- During IVF to collect eggs or freeze eggs
- To check their fertility status and see how many eggs they have left
- To predict the time of ovulation for natural conception
- To see how many follicles they have and how they match up with their hormone levels
- You can have a follicle tracking scan at any time during your menstrual cycle. Your fertility doctor will tell you the best time to have one.

What to expect during a follicle tracking scan?

A qualified sonographer will perform the Follicle Tracking Scan. They will ask you to lie on your back with your knees bent. They will then place an ultrasound probe on your abdomen and move it around to get a clear view of your ovaries and follicles. The scan is painless and takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. After the scan, the sonographer will discuss the results with you.

What do the results of a Follicle Tracking Scan mean?

The results of a Follicle Tracking Scan can help your doctor to figure out the best treatment for you. For example, if you are trying to conceive naturally, your doctor may use the results of the scan to predict the time of ovulation. If you are undergoing IVF, your doctor may use the results of the scan to figure out the best time to collect your eggs.
