Each month, one follicle is selected and goes on to maturity. When this follicle has matured and grown to the right size the follicle ruptures and releases the egg, which is now ready to be fertilised. This is usually around 14 days after the beginning of the menstrual cycle.
How long does it take for a follicle to mature?
The release of an egg isn't a spontaneous occurrence. Rather, different factors take place prior to ovulation. Follicles in one of your ovaries start to mature between days 6 and 14 of your menstrual cycle. Around days 10 and 14, an egg develops from one of these follicles.
How do you know if a follicle is mature?
When your follicles have reached around 18-20mm in diameter they are deemed ready for egg collection. You'll be given a hormone trigger injection to stimulate your follicles to release the mature eggs that have been prepared in your follicles.
