Ovarian reserve ultrasound

Often called basic ultrasound or follicular count, this ultrasound makes it possible to assess the uterus and its appendages (ovaries) between day 2 and 5 of the menstrual cycle.

It is an ultrasound that is performed endovaginally.

In particular, this ultrasound makes it possible to:

  • Evaluate ovarian reserve (quantity and quality of oocytes)
  • Estimating the possible response to fertility treatment
  • Analyzing the morphology of the uterus through a 3D reconstruction of the uterine cavity

Ovarian reserve naturally decreases with age, but it varies from woman to woman. Age alone is therefore not a reliable indicator. It is often combined with blood tests (FSH, LH, Estradiol, Inhibin B, AMH) for a comprehensive evaluation.

Follicular follow-up ultrasound

This ultrasound is used to measure the thickness of the endometrium and assess mature follicles (number and size).

This test is usually requested before an egg puncture or an embryo transfer.

Pourquoi réaliser cette échographie?

Réalisée sous prescription médicale et par voie endovaginale, cette échographie permet de suivre l’évolution des follicules au cours du cycle.

Elle est habituellement effectuée autour du jour 10 d’un cycle de 28 jours, puis répétée aux 2 jours afin de :

  • Mesurer l’épaisseur de l’endomètre
  • Mesurer la croissance des follicules dominants
  • Évaluer leur maturité (un follicule mature atteint généralement entre 16 et 25 mm, moment où l’ovulation peut survenir)

Le rapport est ensuite transmis à votre médecin traitant afin d’ajuster le traitement au besoin.

Généralement, l’échographie de réserve ovarienne n’a pas à être répétée à chaque cycle, contrairement au suivi folliculaire qui est adapté selon les résultats obtenus.

Hysterosonography

This is a medical imaging procedure to determine whether or not there is a blockage in the fallopian tubes, by injecting liquid or air into them.

Comment se déroule l'examen?

Vous serez d’abord installée en position gynécologique afin de réaliser les premières images. Un spéculum est ensuite inséré pour permettre le nettoyage et la désinfection du col de l’utérus, puis un cathéter muni d’un petit ballonnet est délicatement mis en place.

Par la suite, un mélange de liquide et d’air est doucement injecté, suivi d’une nouvelle imagerie afin d’observer le passage dans les trompes. Cet examen permet de visualiser la forme de l’utérus, de détecter d’éventuelles anomalies (comme des polypes, des fibromes ou des adhérences) et d’évaluer la circulation du liquide dans les trompes.

Ce qui peut se produire suite à l'examen

Après l’examen, il est possible de ressentir de légères crampes, d’observer des saignements légers ou, plus rarement, des douleurs aux épaules. Ces symptômes sont généralement de courte durée et disparaissent rapidement. Il est toutefois recommandé de consulter votre médecin en cas de douleur persistante, de fièvre ou de pertes anormales.

Comme tout examen médical, certains risques sont à considérer, bien qu’ils demeurent rares, tels qu’un inconfort léger, des crampes, une réaction vagale ou une infection.

Cet examen est contre-indiqué en cas de grossesse en cours ou d’infection gynécologique active.

Que dois-je faire si je crois être enceinte ?

Évidemment, cette procédure ne pourrait être effectuée s'ily a une chance que vous soyez enceinte. Tout d'abord, l'examen est réalisé à un moment précis du cycle. Un test de grossesse urinaire devra être réalisé dans tous les cas avant la procédure. De plus, vous devez obligatoirement éviter unerelation sexuelle non protégée dans les 5 jours précédents l'intervention. 

Est-ce que la procédure est douloureuse ?

Certaines femmes ressentiront une douleur vive et d'autre un simple inconfort. Nous recommandons de prendre 2 acétaminophènes et 2 ibuprofènes (si vous n'avez pas de contre-indication à prendre ces médicaments) 1h avant le rendez-vous. 

Nous suggérons aussi fortement d'être accompagnée lors du rendez-vous.
