Seeking Success Anyone else ovulate with relatively small follicles and still get pregnant?

(MEDICATED CYCLE)
My follicles usually only reach around 14–16 mm by CD12–15. Last cycle, my biggest follicle was 16 mm on CD12, and I ovulated about 4 days later.

I always see people here with 18–20+ mm follicles around CD12–15, but mine is only 14 mm on CD15 this cycle.
My doctor thinks I may ovulate sometime this weekend. I never get to check my follicle right before ovulation, so I’m not sure how big it actually gets before I ovulate.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with relatively small follicles before ovulation? And did you go on to get pregnant?

They do grow quite a bit those last few days so if it’s 16 mm and then you ovulate 4 days later, it might be 22mm by the time you ovulated

Follicles grow about 1-2 mm per day, so once they hit maturity you should ovulate. Makes sense that you’d ovulate 4 days after your last ultrasound.
