Hello,

Yes, with follicle up to size of 14-16 mm or max 18 mm, there are chances of rupture and ovulation, but a 25 mm follicle would mostly turn into a cyst. If you have PCOS and age is 33 years old, I would suggest to go for IUI or IVF treatment, because trying by natural method might take long and as the age advances chances of other complications are also high. Hence, be wise and choose right.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
