What happens during an assessment scan?
An assessment scan is essential for your fertility specialist to evaluate your reproductive health. It provides valuable information about the condition of the reproductive organs, identifies potential obstacles to fertility, and informs the fertility treatment that is right for you.
During the assessment, the fertility specialist guides a specially designed ultrasound probe into the patient’s vagina. The ultrasound device transmits images of the pelvic organs to a monitor for the fertility specialist to evaluate.
