What is a Follicular Study Scan?
A Follicular Study Scan, also known as Follicular Monitoring or Folliculometry, is a series of ultrasound scans performed during the menstrual cycle to monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles. The scan helps determine the exact time of ovulation and evaluates whether the ovaries are responding normally. Monitoring usually begins around the middle of the cycle and continues every 1–3 days until ovulation is confirmed.
Why is a Follicular Study Scan Performed?
Your gynecologist may recommend a follicular study scan if you:
Planning for pregnancy
Facing difficulty in conceiving
Have irregular menstrual cycles
Have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Need ovulation monitoring
Are undergoing fertility treatments (IUI or IVF)
Need confirmation of ovulation
Require fertility assessment before treatment
Benefits of Follicular Monitoring

How is the Scan Done?
The follicular study is generally performed using a Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS), which provides clear and detailed images of the ovaries and developing follicles. The procedure is safe, quick, and usually takes about 10–15 minutes. Depending on your cycle, multiple scans may be scheduled until ovulation is confirmed. Transvaginal ultrasound offers better visualization of follicles than transabdominal scanning for monitoring ovulation.
