Hi,
I guess you concern is about follicular development and about the injection. Usually a scan to assess follicular size is done from the 10th day of menstrual cycle. This scan is done consecutively for 4 to 5 days. It is difficult to comment on the follicular size based on 2 days scanning. So it is difficult for me to comment on your follicular size query.
Still, 11.7 mm on two different scan days may tell inadequate follicular development. However, your follicle may increase in size in next few days and in the scan report it may show that your follicles are developing. So it is difficult to comment on this two scan findings. Your next concern about the injection.
Usually the standard protocol is to give injection 16-20 mm sized follicle to rupture. Though, based on the treating doctor practical experience, he may decide the timing of injection.
My advice:
1. Get consecutive 4 to 5 days scan done to comment on the follicular development.
2. Request your treating doctor to discuss freely about the timing of injection.
I hope this information is useful, informative and helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sudha Rani Panagar
