What are the chances of pregnancy with ruptured follicles?
Patient: Hello i am 39 yrs.  My doc said my follicle ruptured.  i got my last period on 5th oct.  we had relationship on 12,14,16,18,20 oct.  can u confirm if i have chances of getting pregnant. age 39, wt - 77kg, ht - 167cm , i had my first son in 1997 cesarian. Doctor: Your concern is appreciated. Every cycle, a woman in reproductive health forms an egg. This egg is initially in a watery balloon which is called as Graafine follicle. When your doctor says the follicle is ruptured, probably it means your egg is released. This happens usually 14 days prior to the next expected period. You have not mentioned whether at the age of 39 your periods are still normal or not; and if so what is the duration of your monthly cycle. I will answer your query presuming your cycle is 28 days, regular. If you had your last period on 5th October, your next expected period should be on 2nd November. So your egg formation dates to about 19 or 20 October. You had contact on 18 & 20 October. So there is a high chance of pregnancy. Anyway, now this is March so you must have got the answer through your next periods. If you have missed them, you must be pregnant. If you do not want this pregnancy, you had an option of undergoing a Medical Termination of Pregnancy legally before 20 weeks of pregnancy; i.e. before 15th February. Of course this depends in which country you are.
