    folicle size? ovulation ?

    ok so i had an ultrasound 2 days before af arrived.

    i had 4 folicles ranging from 6-8mm on my right side and 1 on my left side but that folicle was 21mm already.

    will i release this folicle this cycle? will this cause me to O early?

    i have read that the optimal size for a folicle to be upon releasing is 20-25mm so i am hoping i O early and this one releases and it is big enough to catch teh little swimmers..

    also would i have any folicles if i ovulated last cycle or would they of disolved ? i had a positive OPK but just read you can have +OPK but the folicle isnt big enough so doesnt release? is that true?

    any advice would be great and i thank you in advance..

    If it was 24mm before af I would hazard a guess to say that it is a cyst... I have PCOS and had something similar on my 3rd cycle TTC Jazz. Can you have another scan? My cyst fized itself by the next cycle (like you, I had a scan a few days before AF and cyst was there, had a scan 5 days after af started, cyst was gone).
