Many couples who are preparing for pregnancy choose to have sex during their female ovulation period. Having sex during this period can increase the likelihood of conception. So, many people will use ultrasound to detect their ovulation period. So, when does ultrasound detect follicles, how often do they ovulate? Today, the editor will popularize this knowledge for everyone.
How often do follicles ovulate when measured by ultrasound?
When the follicle diameter reaches 18-25mm, it will be naturally discharged. The size of follicle discharge varies depending on the individual, some may be discharged as long as 15mm, while others may need to grow up to 25mm. Follicle development is a continuous process, and the normal follicle diameter should be between 18-25mm.
At menarche in women, the number of follicles in the ovaries reaches 300000 to 500000. Every month, a batch of follicles develop, with only one dominant follicle able to fully mature and release an egg, while the rest regress on their own. During a woman's lifetime, only 400-500 follicles mature and are expelled. The growth of primary follicles to mature follicles can be divided into 8 levels, and it takes a total of 10 days for the 6th level follicle to grow to the 8th level follicle, which happens to be the follicular phase in a menstrual cycle. Starting from 16mm, after 2-3 days, follicles will develop into 20mm follicles and be discharged.
What does it feel like to release an egg?
If you have these feelings, it is likely that you are ovulating or have just ovulated.
1. Lower abdominal pain: When the egg is released, it needs to break through a thin membrane follicle that wraps around the surface. A small amount of fluid inside the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity, causing a small amount of bleeding. At this point, you will feel pain in one side of your lower abdomen, which will subside after a few hours.
2. Increased vaginal discharge: There is a significant increase in vaginal discharge, which appears watery, transparent, and clear. Women may feel damp and slippery in their genital area, and there will be egg white sticky strips when wiping with toilet paper.
3. Ovulation bleeding: After the follicle is discharged, the level of estrogen drops sharply, causing local rupture and shedding of the endometrium, resulting in a breakthrough small amount of bleeding. The amount of bleeding during ovulation is minimal, usually stopping on its own within 2-3 days and lasting up to 7 days.
4. Slightly higher body temperature: When the egg is released, the body temperature is slightly higher, but the change is not significant, usually fluctuating around 0.5 degrees Celsius.
5. Breast swelling and pain: During ovulation, the level of estrogen in the body increases, leading to breast hyperplasia and tissue swelling between the breasts, resulting in breast swelling and pain.
The above is what the editor wants to popularize today about the time of egg release and the symptoms that may occur during ovulation. We hope to help friends who want to be mothers achieve their wishes as soon as possible!
