Sure* not reasonable. Stupid phone... >.>

Follicles are the structures that contain eggs. Not every follicle contains an egg. Follicles are called mature at 18mm or larger with an estrogen level of around 200 or more. You seem to have a mature follicle size wise, obviously, the estrogen level is the other part of the equation since both go hand in hand. Follicles can grow larger than what you have right now. They usually keep growing until the LH starts surging (detectable with OPk) . The LH surge happens about 24-36 hours before the egg is released from the follicle (ovulation). The days leading up to ovulation and the entire ovulation time frame is your fertile window. I hope this helps. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

A follicle, without meds, will usually rupture when it reaches 18-24mm and release the egg. That's when the egg is mature enough to be fertilised. A follicle will grow in average 1-3mm a day. If the follicle fails to release the egg, that follicle will turn into a cyst which can cause irregular cycles. If your follicle released the egg, you were in your fertile period on the day of the u/s. It is very hard to predict when the egg was released, it could have been released that day or the next and possibly the day after that (with a growth of 1mm per day to reach the max of 24mm). however; it's possible that it was not released, your doctor would need to do a progesterone blood test to confirm whether or not you ovulated.

Good luck :)

Thanks, ladies! Thankfully the fiance has been very adamant about DTD this month and did it several times around that time. So, maybe there is some hope if it decided to release an egg. :) according to a few apps I have, I should be due for AF in a few days. Hopefully. My periods seem to be trying to regulate the last few months, but something usually throws it off.

Anywho, you two were very helpful! :3

Good luck, your timing seams to be right so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
