If women want to get pregnant, they must have mature and healthy follicles. Many women who experience infertility are caused by poor follicular development. At this time, women can undergo some related treatments, and the development and discharge of follicles should be tested. So, can follicles grow to 16 and have sexual intercourse?
If women want to get pregnant as soon as possible, do not have sexual intercourse until the follicle grows to 16mm. Because follicles grow to around 1.8-2.0mm before being expelled, 16mm follicles are not large enough and need to continue developing. Women can have sexual intercourse 2 days later, which coincides with the completion of follicle development, and the chance of conception during sexual intercourse is relatively high.
Usually, women release one mature egg per month, occasionally two, and when the egg develops to 1.8-2.0mm, it will be released. However, there may be some differences in ovulation among women, so if you want to monitor your ovulation status, you should go to the hospital for monitoring. The monitoring method is relatively simple, just do an ultrasound.
On the 3rd to 5th day of a woman's menstrual cycle, small follicles can be detected in the ovaries through ultrasound. From the 5th to the 10th day of menstruation, follicles can grow by about 1.5mm per day, and by the 10th day, they will grow by 1.2mm per day. During the first 4 days of ovulation in women, follicles develop the fastest, growing by 1.9mm per day, and will be discharged when they mature.
