Patient's question:
Hello, I want to ask if follicle monitoring is cheap? I've discussed it with my husband and we're planning to have a child. I'm afraid it might not work on the first try, so I want to get follicle monitoring done. Is follicle monitoring cheap?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The cost is not fixed, as it varies from hospital to hospital. There are two factors that affect the cost: one is the number of times. Generally, starting from the 10th day of the menstrual cycle, ultrasound monitoring is performed every two days. When the follicle diameter reaches 17 mm, daily monitoring is set up. When the follicle is mature and the diameter reaches 20-23 mm, it needs to be measured twice a day. The growth speed of the follicle. Ultrasound should be performed from the 3rd to the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, when small follicles can be found in the ovaries. They gradually grow larger, with an average maximum size on the 14th day, when ovulation can occur.
