Assessment of follicular development by ultrasonography and total serum estrogen in human menopausal gonadotropin-stimulated cycles.

Abstract: Ovarian follicular development was assessed by serial ultrasonography in infertile women being treated with human menopausal gonadotropin. Both follicular size and number of follicles correlated with serum estrogen values in most patients, and follicles increased in size 2--3 mm per day. Most patients had serum estrogen values greater than 750 pg/ml when one or more follicles larger than 18 mm were present. A comparison of conception cycles with non-conception cycles did not reveal a significant difference in … Show more

“…Growth rates varying from 1-4 mm/day have been documented, with some researchers reporting increases or decreases in the growth rates of ovulatory follicles in the few days leading up to ovulation (2,10,12,13,19,26,29,30,(43)(44)(45). Follicular growth rates of 1 mm/day have been reported during oral contraception (OC) cycles (46), and 1-3 mm/day during ovulation induction cycles (21,22,24,25,28,41,47,48).…”

“…Ultrasonographic evaluations of follicle development and ovulation were documented during the menstrual cycle (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Transabdominal ultrasonographic evaluations of follicle growth were then used to complement hormonal estimations of ovarian status in women undergoing ovulation induction for the treatment of infertility (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28).…”

“…It has also become an essential tool for the diagnosis of ovarian pathology and disease3. The growth and regression of ovarian follicles ≥ 4 mm in diameter during natural menstrual cycles, oral contraceptive cycles and ovarian stimulation cycles have been characterized using conventional transvaginal ultrasound4–7. However, the growth dynamics of follicles < 4 mm remain largely unknown due to difficulties in visualizing small follicles using currently available imaging techniques.…”
