An Antral Follicle count is conducted using transvaginal ultrasound scans. The fertility specialist will perform ultrasound scans in the clinic by inserting the ultrasound probe into the vagina. The procedure is safe and not painful.
The antral follicles appear as small dark shadows measuring between 2 to 8 mm in diameter. They represent the follicles which contain eggs. By simply counting of the number of antral follicles, we get a snapshot of your egg reserves and whether you have sufficient eggs.
