Hi Doctor, age 26, doc suggested for follicular study, 10th day scan reported as left ovary is normal but right ovary has 6mm dominant follicle,my question is, is it difficult to conceive with one normal ovary and is follicle length increases as day by day.....
Hello, It's not so difficult to conceive with one normal ovary, but the chances decreases as in our two ovaries only one ovulates in each menstrual cycle. Mostly it alternates if right ovulates in this menstrual cycle then mostly left ovulates in the next menstrual cycle and then right in next cycle and usually this follows. But it depends on individual basis in some cases only left ovulates consecutively for few cycles and then right ovulates and in very few cases both ovaries ovulate in the same cycle. In one ovary many follicles are formed, but only one attains the maximum size and ovulates and other follicles regresses. Size of follicles increase from 1st day of cycle and gradually increases up to day of ovulation and after ovulation regresses. Ovulation occurs 14\u00a0days prior to the start of next menstruation if cycle is regular. Having sex 4 days before and 4 days after ovulation regularly has maximum chances of fertilization and getting pregnant.
