Brief Answer:
Follicular size may be 8 mm and not 8 cm

Detailed Answer:
Hi
GREETINGS
I can understand your concern.
But what was the indication for laparoscopy.?
Are you suffering from polycystic ovarian disease.?
ovarian drilling or endometrial biopsy was done ?
If so the periods can be delayed
Can you send me the scan copies and laparoscopy reports to help you more.
Feel free to ask your doubts with more details.
