Ovulation cycle tracking is a simple process that can help you identify which days you’re most fertile.
This is done by combination of hormone tests and TVS ( Sonography)
Ovulation is triggered by a surge of hormones from the pituitary gland (Luteinising Hormone). This usually takes place 24 hours before ovulation. A simple hormone estimation and measuring the size of the follicle and the endometrial reactivity we can predict the ovulation. Timing of sexual intercourse is very important if you are trying to conceive and most of the time wrong timing might be the cause of inability to conceive. For a successful outcome one needs to know the most fertile period in the menstrual cycle which is the days leading upto the ovulation. The egg survives for just 24 hours after ovulation, while sperm retain fertilising capability for 48 to 72 hours in the fallopian tubes. For this reason, we recommend couples to have sex during this fertile window. This ensures the sperms are waiting for the egg when it ovulates.
It is important to have sexual intercourse 2 days before and after ovulation period.
By undertaking a combination of blood tests and ultrasounds you’ll have a more accurate and comprehensive overview of your cycle and general fertility.
Unlike most home ovulation tests that just measure the luteinising hormone (LH), we’ll measure the quantity of estrogen, progesterone and LH present throughout your cycle enabling us to anticipate ovulation earlier and use the ultrasounds to confirm that there are actually follicles developing.
