Anomaly ultrasound, also known as a fetal anomaly scan, is a medical imaging procedure performed during pregnancy to assess the developing fetus for any structural abnormalities. This non-invasive ultrasound examination typically takes place around the 18-20 week mark and aims to detect anomalies in organs, bones, and other crucial structures. It plays a crucial role in identifying potential issues early on, allowing for medical intervention or preparation for specialized care if needed. The procedure provides valuable insights for both medical professionals and expectant parents, facilitating informed decisions and appropriate prenatal care.

FOLLICLE TRACKING Ultrasound scan

Follicle tracking is a common fertility procedure, it involves tracking the development of egg-containing follicles within your o***y from an immature state (which we call primordial follicles) to a mature state (we call leading or dominant follicles).

Knowing when your eggs are nearing maturity helps to know when ovulation occurs and also predicts the best time for IVF clinicians to perform an egg pick up.

Follicle tracking is done via an internal (transva**nal) ultrasound in combination with monitoring your blood levels for the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone.

The procedure only takes about 10 minutes, you will be asked to empty your bladder prior to the scan, upon arrival at the clinic. When you enter the ultrasound room you will be asked to remove your underwear and either put on a gown or be covered with a sheet and lying down on the bed with your feet on a lower platform. With your consent, the small narrow sterilised transva**nal transducer is gently placed a small way into the va**na The probe is moved from side to side to gain views of the ovaries and count the follicles on each.
