Women are born with eggs. After puberty, menstruation gradually comes and the mature eggs are excreted one by one. Many people ask why the eggs cannot be seen?

Ovulation requires follicles, so the follicles must be normal. Once abnormalities or other conditions occur, it will greatly affect conception. So, at what age is ovulation normal? The following is an introduction by an infertility expert:

During the 3rd to 5th day of the menstrual cycle, small follicles can be found in the ovaries. They will gradually grow larger, reaching their largest size on the 14th day on average, and ovulation can occur.

From the 5th day of menstruation to before ovulation, the primary follicle will grow an average of 1.5mm per day; before the 10th day, it will increase by an average of 1.2mm per day, and in the 4 days before ovulation, it will increase by an average of 1.9mm until the follicle matures. Mature follicles may show the following characteristics: the follicles are round or oval, and the diameter can reach 15-30mm (21.2+-0.53mm), which is considered mature.

Using ovulation test strips to test, the results are generally accurate. In addition, if the follicles cannot ovulate normally, it may be due to some diseases, such as endocrine disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome, as well as premature ovarian failure. It is recommended that you pay attention! The above is a brief introduction by an infertility expert. I believe everyone has a simple understanding of the problem of follicle discharge.
