Doc told me to eat eggs daily for protein but i keep wondering does the size even matter, like small or large. Maybe a silly question yaar but just curious what others go for.
I'm in my second trimester now and looking back, I remember getting so anxious about my follicle scans. My doc said it should be around 18-20 mm for natural conception. Did anyone else get super stressed about these measurements or was it just me?
The ideal size is usually between 18 and 24 mm, but only a proper ultrasound and your gynac can tell you if the quality and size are right for your body. I always recommend asking your doctor directly rather than trying to guess from online charts.
I don't know much about the medical terms, but during my follicular tracking, my doctor told me my egg size was 19 mm when it ruptured, and that worked for me! Every body is different though, so just trust what your doctor tells you.
To improve egg size and quality naturally, I used to eat a lot of leafy greens, nuts, and fresh pomegranate juice. But please don't self-medicate if your follicles aren't growing. If you have severe pain during ovulation or cycle issues, it's best to consult your doctor immediately.
Oh I totally panicked during my follicular scans because my follicle was only 16 mm on day 12. But my doctor told me it's totally normal for it to grow 2 mm daily, and guess what? I conceived naturally that same cycle! Don't stress, it will happen.
When I first saw my scan report showing 21 mm, I felt this sudden wave of hope and emotion. It was my first time trying to conceive, and I felt so connected to my body's natural rhythm. It really is a beautiful, emotional process when you see things working out.
Usually, a follicle size of 18 mm to 22 mm is considered absolutely perfect for a healthy egg to release and get fertilized. Don't stress too much over exact decimals, your body knows how to handle things once it's in this range!
I completely understand how stressful this waiting and measuring phase can be, as I went through IVF myself. For us, they look for follicles around 18 to 22 mm before the trigger shot. Sending you so much love and strength, please be gentle on yourself.
Honestly, between changing diapers and getting 2 hours of sleep, my brain is fried! But I distinctly remember my doctor celebrating when my scan showed a 20 mm follicle. Who knew we would be worrying about millimeter sizes of eggs instead of enjoying life, haha!
Having gone through the pain of a miscarriage, I know how vital egg quality is. Doctors usually look for a mature follicle of 18-22 mm because smaller ones might not sustain a pregnancy. Please stay in close touch with your doctor to monitor your progress safely.
