A follicular study involves a series of ultrasound scans done transvaginally, which means through the vagina to determine when the mature egg gets released and the endometrium lining thickens.
The doctor performs an ultrasound scan by inserting a probe through your vagina to monitor your ovaries for developing follicles and track the growth and egg release span, which is called ovulation.
During this process, your doctor asks you to lie on your back with your legs raised and bent as if in the natural birthing position, then they will insert a probe into the vagina to monitor your ovaries and follicles. This process does not make pain but it may feel slightly inconvenient while inserting the probe inside you.

The size of the follicles, the thickness of the endometrium, and the inner wall of the uterus are measured by the doctor during the follicular testing. Also, the volume of blood flow to the follicles and the endometrium layer.

The follicular scan may take around 10 - 20 minutes, but the preparations should start a few hours before. Usually, one cycle has four to six scans for accurate prediction of ovulation.

This study may give you a guidance to have a healthy parenthood journey.
