How are ovulation disorders diagnosed?
Evaluation helps determine whether ovulation is occurring and identify possible causes.
1. Menstrual History
We assess cycle length, frequency and changes over time.

Blood tests may evaluate reproductive and thyroid hormones.
3. Ultrasound Scan
Ultrasound may monitor follicle development and ovulation.
4. Ovulation Monitoring
Cycle tracking helps determine whether and when ovulation occurs.
