Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM .
There is no rule that the day of cycle should have that sized follicle.
But on 9th day of cycle one ovary or both should have a dominant follicle of more then 10mm which will increase in size at rate of 1-2mm/day till it reaches 20-22mm and rupture.
I suggest you to continue your follicular study on day 11 and also 13th and further to see the progress of the follicle does it rupture or regress.
Some may have delayed ovulation like on 16th or 17th day . After your course of metformin you can take ovulation inducing drugs to increase chance of conceiving.
Hope I have been helpful .
