The cervix has one of the harder jobs in pregnancy. It has to stay firmly closed for nine months, then open completely.

Cervical insufficiency is when it can't stay closed through the second trimester. It usually happens without pain or warning, which is why it's picked up on ultrasound rather than through symptoms. 🔍

At the 20–22 week scan, cervical length is measured. Knowing early means there are options to help reduce the risk of an early birth.

👉 Swipe through for how it's measured and what the numbers mean.

Questions about your own scan? Your GP, midwife or obstetrician is the person to ask.

Part 3 of our fertility ultrasound series: monitoring cycles and counting follicles 🧬🔬

Antral follicle count and endometrial thickness are two of the most common metrics patients ask us about. For many people undergoing IVF or a monitored cycle, they're not measured just once.

Swipe through for what these measurements involve, and how they support your fertility specialist through treatment.

Missed Part 1 or 2? Check our profile. Up next in Part 4: specialist procedures, including SIS and HyFoSy.

Vasa praevia is a condition where ultrasound can genuinely change the outcome of a pregnancy. It can be silent, and the only thing standing between a safe, planned birth and a preventable tragedy is early diagnosis in experienced hands.

With an antenatal diagnosis, the baby's chance of survival is 98.6%. Without one, it falls to 72.1% (Zhang et al., 2021), published in Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynaecology.

See how ultrasound is used to detect it, and why the 20–22 week morphology scan matters in detecting this condition.

Meet Lucinda, a QUFW patient who generously shared her story about living with pelvic pain and accessing care from remote Queensland since she was eleven years old.

Her road to answers has taken her through countless appointments, thousands of dollars in out of pocket costs, and 7-hour drives to access specialist care. This is a reality shared by many women living outside of major centres in Australia.

"I have felt extremely upset, frustrated and lost for what to do...the opinion and area of knowledge of every practitioner varies and doesn't always align, which leaves me feeling very confused."

Lucinda’s perspective deserves to be heard so that women in regional, rural and remote centres feel seen and are not left behind when it comes to specialist care.

QUFW's Toowoomba, Tugun and Ipswich clinics are supported by specialist doctors who consult with patients via video, with a commitment to bring subspecialist women's healthcare closer to home.

Part 2 of our fertility ultrasound series 🧬

If you've been referred to us ahead of an IVF cycle, egg freezing, or because you're finding it hard to conceive, this is usually the first scan you'll have.

It's a transvaginal ultrasound and it's much more than "checking for follicles." It's a full gynaecological assessment of your pelvis, looking for anything that could affect implantation or pregnancy. Your fertility specialist may also add specific imaging requests based on your symptoms.

Swipe through to see what we're actually assessing.

Next in Part 3: Monitoring cycles and counting follicles.
