Ultrasound is used throughout fertility and pregnancy care. In fertility treatment, follicular monitoring shows how eggs are developing so the doctor can time medicines, IUI and egg retrieval correctly.
Ultrasound is used for
- Tracking follicle growth during ovulation induction and IVF
- Measuring the thickness of the uterine lining
- Assessing the uterus and ovaries for fibroids, polyps and cysts
- Confirming early pregnancy and dating
- Monitoring baby growth during pregnancy
Safe and non-invasive
Ultrasound uses sound waves and no radiation. Your sonologist will explain what is being checked and share findings with your doctor.
