IVFers-minimum follie size to contain a mature egg?

glueck

Repeat IVFers- We all trigger when the lead or ideal group of follies hits around 18mm. In your RE's opinion, what is the minimum size required of a follicle in order to contain a mature egg for the remaining follies? I have read that 15mms can likely have mature eggs. I've even read that 13mm can possibly. What has your experience been?

At trigger I had 38 follies 14 and up. They retrieved 45 mature so some of those smaller ones contained mature eggs as well.

At trigger I had 23 at 13 or above and 15 in the 10-12 range. I had 38 retrieved and 33 were mature so at least some of my 10-12s were mature. That's after a cancelled cycle where everything stalled out at 12-14. Good luck!

On my day of trigger, I had 20 follicles that ranged from 10-19mm (19, three 17, four 16, three 15, two 13, two 12, two 11, and three 10).  They retrieved 19 mature eggs. (I did both a noveral/ovidrel trigger because I had maturity issues in the past...no clue if that impacted the smaller ones being mature).

I had 2 mature eggs that fertilized this past IVF that came from a 13mm follie and a 13.6mm (that was the size the day of ER as u/s was done before the ER).

I only had 6 measurable follies before a retrieval and know that 2 of the smallest were only 10 and 1 of them ended up being mature (5R & 5M) so you never know!! wishing you luck!
