What should I do if the follicles do not develop well?

Ovum, also known as egg cell, is a reproductive cell of female organisms. Animals and seed plants all produce eggs. In higher organisms, eggs are produced by the ovaries. All mammals have some immature eggs in their ovaries when they are born, and the number of eggs does not increase after maturity. The eggs begin to mature in a fluid-filled vesicle, so the image of a jellyfish is very appropriate to describe it.

How long can an egg live?

Compared to the 2-3 day lifespan of sperm, the lifespan of an egg is shorter, with a maximum lifespan of only 48 hours. Its ability to fertilize is strongest within 24 hours after being released.

If prospective parents want to conceive, it is best to start conceiving before the egg is released so that Mr. Sperm will not miss Miss Egg. Because the meeting and combination of egg and sperm must be completed within 48 hours of egg discharge. If the egg cannot meet the sperm to form a fertilized egg due to various reasons after being released, it will die after 48-72 hours, resulting in the failure of conception, and you can only wait for the next ovulation period. But if the egg does not develop well, the chances of pregnancy are greatly reduced.

Just as this netizen said, the physical examination showed that everything was normal, but the follicles were not developing well, and ovulation occurred too quickly before they grew bigger. The quality of the eggs was not high, which would affect the chances of pregnancy. Abnormal fallopian tube development, follicular cysts, follicle-stimulating hormone, testicular hypoplasia, ovarian abnormalities, cervical and uterine abnormalities

How many eggs does a woman lay in her lifetime?

The egg is the largest cell in the human body. The mature eggs can only be barely seen with the naked eye. When a woman is born, millions of undeveloped "follicles" are stored in her ovaries on both sides, and by adulthood, there are only more than 100,000 left. But in a lifetime, only about 400 of them can truly mature, be released by the ovaries, and play the role of creating life. The rest degenerate on their own.

In each reproductive cycle, more than a dozen follicles develop alternately in the two ovaries (or continuously in one ovary), but in the end only one egg matures and is released and can combine with sperm to form an embryo (a few cases have two or more, forming twins or multiple births).

How do I know if my eggs are developing normally?

The most direct and intuitive diagnosis of egg development is through B-ultrasound monitoring, which can show the size of the egg and the quality of its development.

Generally speaking, starting from the eighth day of the menstrual cycle, B-ultrasound can be used for detection every two days. When we find that the diameter of the follicle is as high as about 17 mm, we should change to monitoring once a day. When the follicle is mature and the diameter reaches 20 to 23 mm, it should be detected twice a day until ovulation.
