1. Regularly menstruating females should be scanned
between days 3-5
Oligo-/ amenorrhoeic should be scanned either at
random or between days 3-5 after progesterone –
induced bleeding
2. If there is evidence of a dominant follicle >10 mm or a
corpus luteum, the scan should be repeated the next
cycle.
3. Ovarian volume= 0.5X length X width X thickness

Subtypes of PCO: The images exhibit quite different appearances
in the size and distribution of follicles. A recent corpus luteum is
clearly visible in the ovary in panel (D).

In some cases, adhesions
between the oviduct and ovary
may be visualized.

I. Ovarian induction/IUI
Monitoring:
• Base line scan on D2 or 3 of the cycle
• US on D8 of stimulation:
Follicles: number & size
Endometrium: thickness & appearance
• Repeat /2-3 days depending on the size of
leading follicle, until it is 18 mm
![Page 75: Ultrasonography and infertility: Aboubakr Elnashar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/554aead9b4c9056a798b57be/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
II. IVF
1. U.S between D10 & 15 of preceding IVF cycle:
Uterus: fibroid
Ovaries: size, PCO, ovarian cyst
Tubes: hydrosalpinx
![Page 76: Ultrasonography and infertility: Aboubakr Elnashar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/554aead9b4c9056a798b57be/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
2. COH:
a. Confirm down regulation:
Thin endometrium: <4 mm,
quiescent ovaries containing only small follicles
b. Follicular development & endometrial thickness:
D6 stimulation
Repeat daily or alternate day depending on response
![Page 77: Ultrasonography and infertility: Aboubakr Elnashar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/554aead9b4c9056a798b57be/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
US guided oocyte retrieval.
The oocyte collection needle is visualized entering into a large
follicle. Etching around the tip of the needle enhances its
visualization.

4. Embryo transfer:
![Page 79: Ultrasonography and infertility: Aboubakr Elnashar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/554aead9b4c9056a798b57be/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

Embryo transfer is enhanced by the use of ultrasound
guidance to place the embryos at the optimal uterine
location. The small hyperechoic areas distal to the catheter
tip represent microbubbles of air expelled from the transfer
pipette and serve to visualize embryo placement.
![Page 81: Ultrasonography and infertility: Aboubakr Elnashar](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/554aead9b4c9056a798b57be/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
TVS-monitored embryo transfer.
(a) Before embryo transfer. The arrow indicates the tip of the
outer sheath. The arrowhead indicates the tip of the catheter.
(b) After embryo transfer. The arrow indicates two air bubbles.

Moderate OHSS.
Both ovaries are enlarged and are observed in the posterior cul-
de-sac.
The ovaries are in close contact and displace the uterus
anteriorly.
Both ovaries contain several large unruptured follicles.
