Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old, newly married, has always wanted to prepare for pregnancy, but is not clear what the follicle looks like. Please ask: How long does it take for an 17×14 mm follicle to ovulate?Doctor's answer:
Follicle 17×14 generally indicates fibrosis to about 1.8 centimeters, suggesting it may be nearing menopause. Currently, your follicle is relatively large, and you may experience menopause within the next 2-3 days. If you are in the pre-pregnancy phase, it is best to rest and have intercourse every other day, which increases the likelihood of a natural delivery. It is recommended to relax in the coming days, avoid anxiety and tension, and not work overtime. Spacing out intercourse helps prevent excessive frequency, which is beneficial for a normal delivery.
