Ruptured follicle question

[Capricorn8990]

I'm just looking for some advice.. I had an internal ultrasound on Friday 27th which showed everything to be normal (woohoo). The sonographer said she saw a ruptured right follicle.. she said it's when the egg/ hormones are released. Is this the egg releasing from the ovary? Does everyone get it? If she could see that on the ultrasound can anyone work out when I likely ovulated?

So many questions but when I google it, I cannot find the answer.

Due to speak with my doctor on 7th so will ask more then!

Thanks in advance x

@Capricorn8990 yes, I assume that means that you had recently ovulated, great news! But best to ask her for a more detailed answer.

@Kay00 sorry for the really late reply! Thanks for replying! Xx

Yes everyone would have that. Every cycle you'll have multiple follicles growing until eventually one takes the lead. This one ruptures and releases an eggm

So the sonographers comment just means you'd ovulated.

Yes
Yes
Unlikely from the ruptured follicle alone as I think it stays like that for a while - sort of cyst like. Then if the egg is fertilised the cyst becomes the lutus corpeum (sp?).

Interestingly, a released egg can be seen on an ultrasound! I had an US for a polyp and she just happened to see it. Not sure how as it is still invisible to eye I think? But she had some sort of filter on the screen and it had a characteristic “ring of fire” ie a little red circle just on its merry way.
