The question
Hello,
I am on cycle day 12 and went for my bloodwork and ultrasound. My ultrasound showed a dominant follicle in the left measuring 24mm and my bloodwork was showing I was going to ovulate soon. My doctor instructed me to trigger. Is a 24 mm follicle pre-trigger too large/overripe? Does the follicle grow much after the trigger. We are thinking of having timed intercourse tonight but I feel hopeless thinking this is too big.
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
In my opinion, follicles of >22mm in mean diameter, are much less likely to house viable , 'competent" eggs , post "trigger". The ideal pre "trigger" measurement is 18-22mm. And No, they should not grow after the hCG "trigger".. Either way, there is no harm giving it a shot!
Good luck!
