My doc has put me on follicular study this cycle and im going for the scans. Im not very clear on what it shows exactly. Can it actually tell if im pregnant or only about the eggs? someone pls explain.
A follicular study just tracks ovulation. I used tracking apps alongside my scans to log my peak days, but to actually detect pregnancy, you have to wait for the implantation phase and use a regular home kit.
No, it doesn't show pregnancy. It only helps you time your intimacy. After my past miscarriage, I was very anxious during these scans, but my doctor gently explained that pregnancy can only be detected via blood or urine test after two weeks.
No, a follicular study cannot detect pregnancy, it only monitors ovulation. Once ovulation happens, you have to wait for about two weeks and then do a blood beta-hCG test or standard urine test.
In my experience, follicular study only tracks the growth and rupture of your eggs, it doesn't directly detect pregnancy. You still have to wait for your missed period and take a urine test to know for sure.
I went through follicular studies due to PCOS, and they only tell you the perfect time to try. They can't confirm if the egg got fertilized. Please be patient and wait to take a test after your missed period.
