Question : Hi,
Today is 25th day of my cycle and I have been taking follicular monitoring which indicates there is one growing follicle in Left ovary and the size is 21X18. Ideally I do have 32-40 day cycle. How much time would it take for rupture?

Brief Answer:
Should rupture in a day.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Given this size of the follicle, it is mature enough to rupture in a few hours to a day. Going by your menstrual calender, your longest ovulation day would be day 26 and your shortest, day 18. Ovulation day, in a normal cycle, would fall two weeks prior to the onset of the next cycle.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
