Follicle Size – Immature at LH Surge?

The question

Hi Dr. Sher,

Just following up from my last question regarding my 14mm follicle on day 15 when I had a LH surge... isn't this too small of a follicle for a surge to happen meaning an immature/eggless follicle? I thought a mature follicle must reach a minimum of 17mm in order for a surge to occur. Mine was only 14mm. We did try but I want to be realistic with my expectations. Is there any way to treat this going forward if this continues to happen? Thanks!

Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher

My response was based upon he suspicion that this 14mm follicle was actually 18mm + a day or so before and the reduction in size was due to partial ovulation.
