Hi,

The follicles can rupture at any size. However, the follicles of size between 18 mm and 21 mm are supposed to release the healthiest eggs which have better chances of successful pregnancy. Now that your follicles are of 20 mm size, this is the most ideal time for egg release.

If they are not rupturing naturally, you may request your gynecologist to give you an injection of hCG which will bring about ovulation within 24 hours. You may confirm the evidence of ovulation by ultrasonography. Utilize these days for your sexual relations.

I hope this provides you some guidelines. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
