Question : can a woman still have follicular activity on both ovaries at the same time during early pregnancy??

Answered by Dr. Soumya (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Corpus luteum

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

There cannot be follicular activity in ovaries but there is corpus luteum.

Corpus luteum is formed after ovulation and secretes progesterone hormone to support pregnancy. This looks like a follicle but is not a follicle. This is essential for maintaining healthy pregnancy in early stage.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
