During the period of preparing for pregnancy, if the couple has sexual intercourse during ovulation, the chances of getting pregnant will increase. If you want to accurately detect ovulation, you can go to the hospital for ovulation testing. Some women may not know what precautions to take when undergoing ovulation testing for the first time. So, does monitoring ovulation require fasting?
Women do not need to go on an empty stomach to monitor ovulation. When women undergo ovulation monitoring, they mainly look at the development of ovarian follicles in their body, such as the growth of the ovaries and the condition of the endometrium. By monitoring, they can understand the size and even morphology of follicles in their body. The ovaries and uterus of women are not affected by ultrasound examination, and the intestines are not affected, so women can do follicle monitoring without fasting.
When monitoring follicles, women may also need to undergo blood tests. If women do not need blood tests for follicle testing, they do not need to go on an empty stomach. If a woman's menstrual cycle is regular, follicle monitoring can be done on the tenth day after menstruation. If a woman's menstrual cycle is irregular, it can be checked about 3 to 5 days after menstruation.
Women can undergo follicle testing every two days until the follicles in the ovaries mature. When women undergo follicle monitoring, they should also pay attention to measuring basal body temperature, how to determine the ovulation and development of the body's follicles, and even whether the corpus luteum function is normal.
