Brief Answer:
Follicular studies
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Follicles less growth could be due to upset hormones or stress during that time. Normally a woman would ovulate in almost every cycle. During stressful times like some disease or hormonal upset, then woman may not ovulate. Mostly after such a stressor, the body heals and woman starts ovulating again when normal organ system functioning is restored.
Follicular study done at at different centers may have some differences but not so much as in your case.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
