Follicles

[happydaysahead]

Hi guys, I do hope I'm not being annoying with all my questions lol!

I had my scan done today, and do feel enlightened after it as it has given me some answers I didn't have. In my scan the nurse, who was lovely, told me my ovaries had alot of activity on them, she said I had 26 follicals on one and 33 on the other. She explained that this is what could be causing my irregular periods and could be that I'm not ovulating every month. My womb look good she said so I felt I had some answers to my irregular periods.. just a few weeks to wait now and we will have a consulaltation about ivf protocols ect.

Just wondering how many follicals is normal? Purely out of curiosity really...

Thanks for bearing with me and my questions! Lol

An ovarian follicle is a roughly spheroid cellular aggregation set found in the ovaries. It secretes hormones that influence stages of the menstrual cycle. Women begin puberty with about 400,000 follicles, each with the potential to release an egg cell (ovum) at ovulation for fertilization.
