A follicle scan is a transvaginal ultrasound that monitors the development of ovarian follicles during your menstrual cycle. It helps track ovulation timing and assess fertility potential, which can be useful for conception planning or fertility treatments such as IVF. This scan can be performed as a one off for fertility planning or part of a cycle to track the ovulation window.
