Hi, I think you have a normal scan. Dominant follicle means that the follicle which is largest in size and it releases an egg when it reaches a size more than 17 to 18 mm. Egg gets fertilised by sperm and pregnancg happen. So you have got one dominant follicle which is normal. You can be in contact with your husband every 2 to 3 days if you want to get pregnant. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.
