How big does the follicle develop before ovulation?

There are many things that women need to pay attention to during their ovulation period. At this time, women's body temperature is too high, so they need to pay attention to their diet and cannot choose cold foods, otherwise it will affect their body temperature. Women's high body temperature is very helpful in promoting pregnancy, so this time is the best choice for pregnancy. But how big does the follicle develop to before ovulation? Many women do not understand this, so let's introduce it in detail below.

How big does the follicle develop to before ovulation?

Follicles larger than 18mm are considered dominant follicles and can be fertilized if released. When a normal follicle grows to 18×19mm and the endometrium is 8mm thick, it is time for ovulation. But it should be noted that the size of the follicle when it is discharged varies from person to person. If you find that the follicle is larger than 1.8, you can test it every day. The daily growth rate of the follicle is 1-3mm. Pregnant mothers can go to the hospital for testing depending on the situation.

The follicle is considered normal when it reaches a diameter of 18-25mm. The size of the follicle for ovulation varies from person to person. Some follicles are released when they grow to 15mm, while others need to grow to 25mm. Follicular development is a continuous process, and the normal follicle diameter should be between 18-25mm.

The growth from primary follicle to mature follicle can be divided into 8 levels. It takes a total of 10 days from the 6th level follicle to the 8th level follicle, which is exactly the follicular phase in a menstrual cycle. Starting from 16mm, after another 2-3 days, it will develop into a 20mm follicle and then be discharged.

The pregnancy rate is relatively high when the follicles are between 18-25mm. Conception can only occur when the follicles are mature and ruptured. You can go to the hospital for an ultrasound in 3 days to see if the follicle has ruptured. If it has, that is the best time to have sex.

After understanding how big the follicle needs to be before ovulation, women should pay attention to choosing foods with high nutritional value when their follicles are developing. However, foods with high nutritional value need to be eaten in moderation, which is beneficial to the body's absorption of nutrients and will not induce other physical problems.
