When should you choose IUI for your fertility treatment?
IUI aligns sperm insemination with women’s 6 most fertile days, depending on the cycle length of 24/28/32 Days.
The “Wash” process of IUI increases the sperm motility by 5x by bypassing cervical mucus – the top-most issue faced by endometriosis patients.
In women facing cervical factor infertility, IUI increased the chance of conception by taking 100% of the processed sperm directly to the target area.
For cases where the results appear normal, but pregnancy is not happening, IUI can present a focused & supportive idea about the next steps.
IUI is considered the best treatment for women who are looking for a less invasive option when using a donor sperm.
When it is difficult for you to maintain the consistency & timing of sexual interaction, IUI can ensure fertilisation gets the medical support it needs.
What does Dr. Mona evaluates during follicular monitoring?
- Minimally invasive process
- Cost-effective
- Natural fertilisation friendly
- Efficient sperm optimisation
- Bypasses cervical barriers
- Enhances fertilisation timing
Who is Follicular Ultrasound advised to?
Follicular ultrasound is generally recommended to patients who are planning for natural conception, ovulation treatment & IUI treatment. It helps identify the right time for implantation by checking whether ovulation is happening on time.
For couples undergoing infertility treatment, the ultrasound brings them one step closer to the parenthood dream.
Trying to conceive for 6-12 months
If pregnancy has not happened despite multiple tries, the ovulation tracking scan can check whether the eggs are maturing & releasing every cycle.
Irregular periods
Unpredictable periods usually indicate delayed or lack of ovulation. Follicular monitoring can help confirm ovulation & identify the cycle pattern.
PCOS
Women suffering from PCOS may suffer from follicles that do not rupture. Monitoring them carefully ensures ovulation induction medicines are working.
Ovulation induction treatment
Patients who are taking fertility tablets or injections need scans every 2-3 days to monitor follicular growth & prevent overstimulation.
Before IUI treatment
IUI success is heavily dependent on timing. With the help of follicular ultrasound, doctors are able to identify the exact day for insemination.
Unexplained fertility
In cases where reports appear normal, folliculometry reveals missed ovulation time or delayed egg release accurately.
Follicular Ultrasound Monitoring Schedule & Timeline
| Follicular study phase | Cycle day | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Day 2-3 | Scan checks if the ovaries are resting, counts small follicles & measures uterine lining. |
| Early growth | Day 8-9 | Monitors follicle development & body’s response to ovulation induction medicine. |
| Dominant follicle | Day 10-12 | Measures endometrial thickness & follicle size. The dominant follicle should grow to 14-18 mm. |
| Pre-ovulation | Day 12-14 | Checks if the follicle has reached 18-22 mm size – a sign of egg maturity. Ovulation trigger medicine may be advised at this stage. |
| Ovulation confirmation | 24-48 hours later | Confirms follicle rupture & ovulation. At this stage, Dr. Mona advises timed intercourse or IUI. |
What does Dr. Mona evaluates during follicular monitoring?
Follicle growth rate
The dominant follicle is measured in every visit. Usually, the egg should grow by about 1.5 to 2 mm every day - timeline that helps estimate when the egg will mature.
Ovulation timing
The moment a follicle reaches 18-22 mm in size, ovulation can be expected to happen within 24-36 hours. Knowing this helps plan timed intercourse & IUI treatment.
Endometrial thickness
Along with the follicle, Dr. Mona’s team also checks the uterine lining. Clinically, a thickness of 7-10 mm is considered ideal for implantation.
Medication response
In conditions where ovulation induction medicine is used, the response is assessed to adjust the dose & avoid overstimulation.
Cycle planning
Based on the findings, Dr. Mona decides whether to continue natural attempts, try IUI, or modify the treatment in the same cycle.
The cost of Follicular ultrasound monitoring
| IVF Phase | Days | Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | Day 2 or 3 | Blood test & ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve and readiness. |
| Stimulation | Day 2 – 10 | Hormonal injections to stimulate multiple follicles. |
| Monitoring | Day 6 – 10 | Regular ultrasounds & blood tests to track growth and hormones. |
| Trigger | Day 10 or 11 | hCG/GnRH injection to mature eggs. |
| Egg Retrieval | Day 12 – 13 | Eggs collected under anesthesia. |
| Fertilisation | Day 12 – 15 | Eggs fertilised in lab & embryos monitored. |
| Embryo Transfer | Day 15 or 17 | Embryo (Day 3 or 5) placed into uterus. |
| Luteal Phase | Day 16 – 28 | Progesterone support for implantation. |
| Testing | Day 28 or 29 | Pregnancy test after 12–14 days. |

FAQ’s
If ovulation happens normally & the sperm quality is good, timed intercourse after monitoring can lead to natural pregnancy. A lot of couples witness positive conceiving within 2-4 monitored cycles if no other fertility problem is present.
No. It is a transvaginal scan process that takes a maximum of 10 minutes and does not even require anesthesia. While you may feel mild pressure, it is fairly comfortable.
Ovulation usually happens when the size is 18-22 mm. The moment follicle reaches this size frame, Dr. Mona either suggests IUI or informs of the exact day of conception.
Most patients need 3-5 scans starting from Day 2 or 3 of the cycle & then every 2-3 days till ovulation is confirmed.
Well, no. The scan only tracks ovulation. Pregnancy is confirmed by a blood beta-hCG test around 14 days after the ovulation.
Not necessarily. The scan is only for the female partner. However, based on the findings, a semen analysis may be advised if pregnancy is not occurring.
Not necessarily. Dr. Mona recommends IVF treatment only if simpler options like timed conception or IUI will not work.
Yes. Repeated monitoring can show delayed ovulation, anovulation, or PCOS-related follicle patterns that help guide next steps in current or next cycle.
