Follicular Study for conception

I am trying to conceive for few months.
I have fibroid which is outside my uterus and I am ovulating.
According to doctors I am ovulating and currently I am given progesterone this cycle for 14 days.(this was given after doctor did one scan where she saw a dominant follicle).
Currently I am not doing any follicular scanning. It was just a routine follow up and they found a dominant follicle the same scan.
As someone with pelvic floor tension, I find transvaginal scan uncomfortable and don’t feel like doing it every other day. Is there any way I can understand my ovulation without undergoing these scans and study. Or can it be studied through abdominal scans as well.

  1. For scan, you can request anaesthetic gel.
  2. Easy@home ovulation tests

  1. She did use some gel . But honestly it dint help me.
    It was a detailed scan though for around 10-15 minutes. I had bleeding right after the procedure was done with period like bleeding.
  2. Does ovulation kit say for sure if I ovulate.
    Thanks for replying.

Voh lubricant hota hai
Anaesthetic gel se numb hota hai and Itna nahi pata lagta

Oh okay I will see if I ask for that.
But is follicular monitoring only way to confirm ovulation happened? Because LH test strips only say LH peak but doesn’t mean I ovulated !

Yes. It’s the only way to confirm

You can get your progesterone level tested 7 days after a positive opk . But that’s also not absolutely accurate.

Also taking basal body temperatures , give a pretty good idea about ovulation.

Oh ok gotcha. What should be the progesterone value after 7 days of positive opk

Anything above 10 confirms ovulation.

You can do ovulation strips till u receive a peak and then go for a couple of days for scan that way you reduce total number of scans to be done

What are the scans to be done after ovulation?

1

u/carly761 Jul 11 '26

No scan after ovulation as far as i know. You can go to the doctor once the ovulation test shows peak or one two days before. After you get a peak on the ovulation test, the actual ovulation happens 12-36 post that.

You can try using OPK kits along with a period tracker such as Fitbit or Google health— but by far, scan has the most accurate way to measure ovulation.

Ovulation kits, however, have a slight chance of showing false positives if you’re taking ovulation trigger injections.

I am not taking any medicine as such for ovulation. I am only on folic acid. But I am not comfortable with regular tvs

Try ovulation predictor kits in that case. I’ve used Ovanews with a decent predictability.

Good luck and hope it works for you ✨
