Patient's question:
I really want to get pregnant. When is the best time to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to monitor the growth and development of the follicles? How many times do I need to be monitored?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The normal ovulation period for women is about 14 days before the next menstrual period. Only having sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation or within 24 hours after ovulation can increase the chances of conception. Generally, an ultrasound is used to monitor ovulation (2-5 times) when the follicle develops to 1.8-2.5 cm, which is considered a dominant follicle, and then you can try to conceive. Wishing you good health!
