Ultrasound Monitorig
for Your IVF Cycle
For IVF monitoring cycles that are out-of-state of your location
Starting your cycle
Starting an IVF cycle is stressful enough, doing it with an out-of-state provider just increases that stress. That is why we have developed an out-of state monitoring program to help women that need ultrasound monitoring without having to travel to their provider. We follow your physicians instructions and with be able to accommodate your schedule. Most all cycles, whether retrievals or transfers, will need 2-3 ultrasounds during that cycle. All reports can be faxed or emailed to your physician within 2-3 hours after the exam is finished.

Testimonials
My name is Michelle Aukerman. And I just have to say that Joyce at True Health Acupuncture is probably the best ultrasound technician I have ever had in my life and I’ve been through several. She’s very personal and talks through everything and if something goes wrong, she says OK how do we make this right? What’s the next step we need to take? You don’t hear that from any other ultrasound tech, they're so jaded. The comfort environment at True Health Acupuncture is unmatchable. It does not feel like a doctor's office and everybody is so warm but when it comes to Joyce, she is completely unmatched. It’s like having your own mother right there with you. I highly highly recommend her.
Thank you, the Aukerman’s

This is the second pregnancy that I came to Joyce for my outside monitoring. I have been very nervous about the whole process, but Joyce guided me through each and every ultrasound. Although the monitoring went smoothly, upon achieving pregnancy I developed some bleeding. Of course, I panicked. Joyce explained everything that was going on with my bleeding and helped me through this anxious time. I don’t know what I would have done without Joyce’s calm demeanor. And the added bonus is having acupuncture treatment right there at True Health Acupuncture, the office Joyce works out of. I will always be truly thankful for the amazing experience that I received from both Joyce and True Health to be a part of my fertility journey.

Joyce is an exceptional individual who made a significant impact during my IVF journey. I had the privilege of meeting her when I needed support, and she was able to perform ultrasounds when our IVF Dr was unable to accommodate us. Her ability to confirm our twin pregnancy was incredibly reassuring. Joyce took the time to explain everything she was observing, which not only made the experience more memorable but also helped alleviate my anxiety. Her compassionate approach truly made a difference in my experience.

IVF Monitoring: Tracking Follicle Growth with Ultrasound
One of the most important parts of an IVF (in vitro fertilization) cycle is monitoring the growth of follicles in the ovaries. This is typically done through a series of transvaginal ultrasound scans, which provide real-time images of the ovaries and developing follicles—fluid-filled sacs that contain the eggs.
During the stimulation phase of IVF, hormone medications are used to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple follicles. Ultrasound monitoring helps fertility specialists track how many follicles are growing, their size, and their rate of development. This information is crucial for adjusting medication dosages and determining the optimal timing for the egg retrieval procedure.
Generally, patients will undergo several ultrasound scans over the course of a week or two. As follicles mature, their size increases—typically reaching 18-22 mm before triggering ovulation with an hCG (or similar) injection. The goal is to retrieve mature eggs that are most likely to fertilize successfully.
Ultrasound monitoring is a key part of ensuring a safe, effective IVF cycle. It allows for personalized care, helps reduce the risk of complications like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and plays a vital role in maximizing the chances of a successful outcome.
