How Follicular Waves Shape Your Menstrual Cycle – Fertility Plus
Fertility Plus shared a post on LinkedIn։
“Did you know your cycle length might be determined by how many follicular waves you have?
Explanation: The number of waves you have influences your overall cycle timeline. Women who experience three follicular waves tend to have slightly longer cycles (averaging 29 days) compared to those with two waves (averaging 27 days)
In all women, early waves usually regress, and only the dominant follicle from the final wave survives to ovulation
How it can help IVF: Understanding whether you have a two-wave or three-wave pattern explains why your Antral Follicle Count (AFC) fluctuates
Knowing this means fertility specialists can measure your counts at the optimal time in your specific wave cycle to better predict your response to ovarian stimulation medications
