Why does the follicle do not grow to the same size every cycle?
Patient: Hi, My name is Chaitra, 30 years old. Trying to conceive, my doctor asked me to do follicular study, Last month dominant follicle grew upto 20mm in size and ruptured on day15 but this month foliicle did not grow beyond 14mm, What could be the reason for this. My doctor told it normally happens like this in 1 or 2 cycles in a year and not to worry. Please advise if this is right. Thank you. Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM .Ya it happens normally in some cycles. It is due to stress which you take . Let it be any tension it will impair your hormone levels and follicle won't grow. Normal development of follicle depends on many factors like your hormone levels, stress, obesity, high surrounding temperature etc. So don't worry and try to avoid things which are possible. If you are desperate for child I would suggest you to go for ovulation inducing drugs like clomephine . This will help multiple follicles to mature and rupture . Thus increasing chances of pregnancy .Hope I have been helpful .RegardsDr.Deepika Patil
