Can Multiple Follicles On The Ovaries Increase Chances Of Multiple Pregnancy And How To Increase Follicle Size?

Hi I have been trying to conceive now for almost three years unsuccessfully. There is no reason for the infertility being doned as unexplained as all tests have come back normal. A recent ultrasound showed small multiple follicles on both ovaries, Does this increase my chance of having a multiples pregnancy? And is there anything I can do to increase the size of my follicles for successful maturation of follicle size?

Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Yes multiple follicle in ovaries definitely increase chance of multiple pregnancy.

2) But this is situation when only multiple follicles attain dominant follicle status that is 18 mm or more.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
