Question : hi, my lmp was 29/03 and i took fertoaid from 30/03 to 3/04. i had a follicular scan today, on cycle day 12 and it shows endom lining at 9 mm and 4 follicles as follows : left ovary : 24 X 21 right ovary : 22 X 13 : 27 X 21 : 20 X22 I am now wondering when ovulation can be expected? and if the follicles are too mature. i have had consistent negative opks since cycle day 9. i cant start trying until tmrw evening ( 10/04) as husband is out of town. will that be too late?

Brief Answer: ovulation will occur today or tomorrow Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX thank you for trusting health care magic. Follicle can rupture any time after it reaches diameter of 20 mm, so your ovulation day can be today or tomorrow at the maximum. Egg once released from ovary stays viable for 24 hours so in case you meet your husband tomorrow then also there are fair chances of achieving a successful pregnancy this time. Ovulation kits can give false results at times because they have a threshold level of hormone sensitivity and in case your urine lacks that level then kit won't be able to detect it. (As seen in case of dilute urine due to increased water intake) In my opinion you should have intercourse with your husband tomorrow and a day after (10th and 11th April) and also get a follicular scan on 11th April to make sure that follicles have ruptured. I wish you good luck for a healthy conception and you can consult me anytime in case you have any other query. Dr Manisha Jain Infertility and laparoscopy specialist.

Brief Answer: no need to go to pune Detailed Answer: Hello, I understand your anxiety but there is no need to travel all the way to pune for the same. The positive point in your case is you have ample no. of follicles so there are fair chances of achieving pregnancy. Just keep your fingers crossed. God bless you. Wish you all the best.
