The size of the follicle on the eighth day of ovulation induction

Before women choose to have in vitro fertilization, doctors will give them ovulation-stimulating injections because ovulation-stimulating injections help to release eggs from the woman's body as quickly as possible. When the prince is discharged from the female body, it is only after the follicle grows to a certain size that it can be discharged. Therefore, at this time, we can observe the size of the follicles to infer the maturity of the follicles. So what is the approximate size of the follicles on the eighth day of the ovulation-stimulating injection?

How big is the ovarian follicle before egg retrieval?

The size of the follicles required for in vitro ovulation and egg retrieval varies according to the plan. Generally, eggs can be retrieved when the follicles mature and reach about 18mm. The details are as follows:

1. Micro-stimulation program: When the follicles reach about 18mm, inject drugs to promote follicle maturation intramuscularly, and retrieve the eggs at the prescribed time;

2. Ultra-long protocol, long protocol and short protocol based on pituitary down-regulation: the follicle can reach about 20mm at the time of egg retrieval, but the progesterone should be controlled at 1-1.5nmol/L;

3. Luteal phase or high progesterone ovulation promotion plan: When the follicles reach 18-20mm, inject the follicle maturation injection and retrieve the eggs in about 36 hours. This plan is more flexible, does not require fresh transplantation, and has no high requirements for progesterone and progesterone values. Please combine the specific medication with clinical practice and follow the doctor's face-to-face consultation guidance.
