Vitally
important in the course of evaluating women's fertility potential
is monitoring the "events" of the reproductive cycle. This
monitoring includes both ultrasonic monitoring of the progressive
maturation of th ovarian follicle toward release of the egg, and tracking
the progression of ovarian hormone production. Subtle ovulation defects
may be diagnosed through this monitoring process. In addition, most
treatments for infertility require monitoring to determine if therapy
is achieving the desired result and to be certain that safe and appropriate
end points are reached. For cycle monitoring our facility utilizes
in-house vaginal ultrasound assessment and we also maintain an on-site
endocrine laboratory to assure prompt and accurate results.
