Can I get pregnant with 16mm follicle?

Again, assuming that the larger follicles are those responsible for the implantation, it is clear that follicles with FD >16 mm were highly effective as were follicles with FD=16 mm: 31% resulted in a conception, whether they were described as FDMax or not.

When the follicles reach an adequate size (normally around 18–25 mm), and we consider that there are a suitable number of oocytes, we schedule follicular puncture 36 hours after administering an injection of the hormone hCG. This causes the oocytes to mature in a similar way to the way they would in a natural cycle.

An antral follicle is the final stage of development of the primordial follicles that are already present in the ovaries of baby girls when they are born.
