Abstract
Serial transvaginal ultrasound monitoring of follicular dynamics -- growth, rupture, corpus luteum formation, and free fluid -- forms the basis of a systematic classification of human ovulation disorders, including anovulation, luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF), follicular arrest, premature luteinization, and PCOS-type patterns. Anchoring sonographic findings to the CrMS Peak day allows precise correlation between ultrasound events and cervical mucus biomarkers, creating a reproducible diagnostic taxonomy that drives targeted medical and surgical treatment within the NaProTECHNOLOGY framework.
