General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Maturity of follicles should take place by around 13 th day of the cycle and generally ovulation occurs during this period.
Based on your description, it appears that, although your cycles are normal, there is delay in maturation of follicles and due to which ovulation is getting delayed. Once there is delay in ovulation process, even if fertilization takes place, implantation might not occur as the uterus would not be prepared to receive the fertilized ovum.
Kindly go for what the doctor has suggested as with medications, it would help you to ovulate in time, improving the chances of conceiving. It may take few cycles for it to happen and hence you need to wait for it patiently.
Also, timing intercourse along with follicular studies gives a better chance for you to conceive.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
