On Follicular Study, Taking Clomid. Result Show No Follicular Growth On 16th Day. What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I am on Clomid. I had 5 tablets of clomid starting from day 3 of my menses till day 7.
now, i am on a 5 day follicular study in which on the 11th day and 13th day there was a follilcular growth...however, on day 16th, there was no growth and the follicular size was the same as on day 13th.
My husband and I did the deed on the 14th day of my menses. Could you please tell me if there are chances that I am pregnant (we so want to be) and if the no-growth in follicular study day 3 means something to worry about?

Hello,

With serial follicular study, we monitor follicular growth for proper ovulation. Only one follicle is grown in each cycle to release ovum and others are not. It is called dominant follicle. It is quite physiological and normal thing.

In your case, you saw follicular growth before ovulation and it is normal. However, after ovulation, follicle size does not grow much due to release of ovum. It is possibly sign of your ovulation and you can be pregnant by unprotected sex.

So, yo don't worry about that and wait for coming period. If you miss it, do a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Good luck.
