Brief Answer:
Please furnish more details.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

Please furnish more details like the medication you are on, menstrual history, if this is an induced cycle and so on. The ideal size to be attained by the follicle is around 18 mm. before it can rupture and release the ovum.

Your ovaries have undersized follicles right now and they need to grow further. Observation and timed intercourse around ovulation are needed to enhance conception chances.

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

regards,
Shanti.V.
