Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: How can I know if the follicle is mature? Is the egg released?Current general condition: On the 12th day of the menstrual cycle, an ultrasound was performed, revealing one mature egg in the right ovary. How can I know if the follicle is mature? Is the egg released?
Auxiliary tests: Ultrasound, gynecological examination
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, generally one person can only release one mature egg during a menstrual cycle, which is the mature egg formed from the dominant follicle. The rest will gradually atrophy. On the 16th day of your menstrual period, the dominant follicle was released, and you had intercourse on the same day. Following this guidance for intercourse increases the chances of getting pregnant. To further enhance the chances of pregnancy, it is best to have intercourse again the next day, which can increase the likelihood of conception.You asked whether there were still mature eggs on the 17th day. The answer is that generally, after the mature egg is released on the 16th day, there are no more mature eggs released during that cycle. However, in exceptional cases, it is possible to release two mature eggs within the same cycle.
