Follicular Tracking
What is follicular tracking?
Tracking ovulation is the best way to identify the appropriate time to get pregnant. It involves monitoring your cycle by ultrasound.
Accurately predicting ovulation can be a little trickier than figuring out when day 14 is for you. Ovulation can be irregular, or it can be affected by diet, stress or illness.
Ovulation is triggered by a surge of Luteinising Hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. LH also stimulates the ovary to begin producing the hormone Progesterone. This surge normally occurs 24-48 hours before ovulation and can be tracked more accurately with blood tests and ultrasounds.
Who may wish to do ovulation tracking?
- Women having regular cycles, who have been trying to fall pregnant for several months without success.
- Women having irregular cycles, to help determine the best time to conceive.
