The size at which an egg follicle matures and releases varies from person to person. Some may release it when it reaches 15mm, while others need it to grow to 25mm. Specific ultrasound monitoring of ovulation during a cycle will provide clarity. Generally, there is one or more follicles of varying sizes. However, usually only one mature egg is released each month, with the others atrophying or being absorbed by the body. Under normal circumstances, an egg follicle measuring 20mm or larger is generally considered mature and ready to be released.
