Cycle Monitoring & Ovulation Tracking in London
Tracking ovulation and fertility with accuracy and reassurance
Understanding your menstrual cycle is the foundation of fertility care. At Alma Fertility, our cycle monitoring service — also known as ovulation tracking or follicle tracking — provides valuable insight into your reproductive health. By monitoring changes during your cycle, we can confirm ovulation, identify your most fertile days, and support natural conception or fertility treatment planning.
What is Cycle Monitoring?
Cycle monitoring uses ultrasound scans and blood tests to track ovarian follicles, womb lining, and hormone levels throughout your cycle. This helps confirm whether ovulation is occurring and determines the optimal timing for conception, either naturally or through treatments such as IUI or IVF.
Also known as: ovulation tracking, follicle tracking, cycle scan, fertility monitoring.
