Will I still have follicles if I'm pregnant?

Only when follicles grow in a woman's ovaries can eggs be produced. Therefore, if a woman does not have follicles in her ovaries, it means that the woman is not capable of conceiving. When a woman's ovarian follicles mature to a certain degree, they will transform into eggs and be discharged from her ovaries. So women who have menstruation will also ovulate, but will follicles be produced when women are pregnant?

Will there be follicles on ultrasound during pregnancy?

Generally speaking, there will be no follicles in the B-ultrasound when you are pregnant.

1. General examination. If the menstrual cycle is between 26 and 36 days, it often indicates ovulation. However, for infertile women, an objective examination is still necessary to determine whether ovulation has occurred. For patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, infrequent menstruation, or amenorrhea, specific testing is usually not necessary to confirm the diagnosis of anovulation.

2.Basal body temperature measurement (BBT). The production of progesterone after ovulation can increase the basal body temperature. The temperature in the typical luteal phase rises by 0.3℃ to 0.5℃ and can be maintained for 12 to 14 days, forming a biphasic body temperature, indicating that ovulation has generally occurred. If the body temperature does not rise in the second half of the cycle, it is monophasic, indicating that ovulation has not occurred. Of course, there are occasional exceptions. For example, when the follicle has not ruptured but has become luteinized, there will be a rise in body temperature even though ovulation does not occur.

3. Serum progesterone determination. Measuring serum progesterone levels one week before the start of the next menstruation can reliably and objectively reflect whether ovulation has occurred. If the progesterone level indicates ovulation,

4. Endometrial biopsy. Endometrial biopsy showed secretory endometrium indicating ovulation, while proliferative endometrium indicated anovulation. Endometrial biopsy is not recommended unless endometrial tumor or endometritis is suspected clinically.

Some female friends have very irregular menstrual cycles, and it is difficult to grasp them through ovulation test strips and basal body temperature. In this case, you can also use the method of detecting follicles. That is, go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound 3 or 4 days after the end of your period each month to see the development of the follicles. The doctor will arrange the time for your next test based on your situation, so as to find the most suitable time more accurately.

What to eat to get pregnant quickly

The supply of nutrition before pregnancy is best to follow the principle of a balanced diet. What to eat to get pregnant quickly requires scientific combination of the physiological characteristics of conception to make dietary arrangements, so as to increase the chance of conception.

1. Eat foods rich in folic acid

Folic acid deficiency can lead to a significant decrease in serum folic acid levels, thereby reducing the chance of conception. Scientists have also found that folic acid deficiency can affect sperm production and even lead to male infertility. Folic acid can also effectively prevent fetal malformations and some pregnancy diseases. During the pregnancy preparation period, both husband and wife need to eat more foods rich in folic acid. Foods rich in folic acid include lettuce, broccoli, rapeseed, strawberries, oranges, peaches, kiwis, etc.

2. Adequate inorganic salts and trace elements

Providing an appropriate amount of vitamins can help the development and growth of sperm, eggs and fertilized eggs. However, excessive amounts of vitamins, such as fat-soluble vitamins, can also be harmful to the body, so it is recommended that both men and women get more from food and supplement with vitamin preparations with caution.

3. Ensure adequate supply of heat energy

On top of the 2,200 kcal calorie requirement for adults per day, they should add an additional 400 kcal to meet the needs of sexual life and store some energy for conception. This will improve the quality of sperm and eggs and create the necessary conditions for rapid pregnancy and eugenics.
