Vaginal Probe Ultrasound
The ultrasound is a valuable tool for evaluating the ovaries, uterus, and other internal organs. The ultrasound uses sound waves to generate images similar to x-ray without the accompanying radiation.
The vaginal probe ultrasound is placed inside the vagina and allows visualization of the ovaries, follicles, and uterus. Patients undergo several 
ultrasound evaluations during drug stimulated ovulation cycles to monitor the number and size of the follicles. These data are used to individualize each patient's drug treatment protocol and help determine when ovulation should be triggered.
Ultrasound is also used to measure the thickness of the endometrium which indicates its readiness to accept and support an embryo. Additionally, ultrasound can be useful in diagnosing polyps and fibroids within the uterus, congenital malformations, ovarian tumors, and documenting pregnancy.
