Is this a good follicle size?

Hi ladies,
I'm on my second letrozole cycle, ttc number 2. I've just had a CD13 tracking scan and my doctor was happy with where I'm at, but I thought it sounded a little low and wanted your opinion as you've all been through so much.
I have PCOS so have lots of little follicles but she said I had a dominant follicle on the left and another dominant follicle on the right ovary. Both measuring just over 13mm. Oh and my lining is 10mm.
What do you guys think? I have had some EWCM this morning and a flashy smiley opk result.
Any opinions would be great. Thank you!

It's fine- follicles grow 1-2 mm per day. Follicle size at ovulation can vary.

Thanks @physicskate do you know the normal range of size of follicle at ovulation?

That current follicle size sounds ok. If I recall correctly a size of around 20mm or so is good ultimately for a follicle.

However, I would refrain from further using OPK's; these are absolutely and completely useless when it comes to PCOS and are infact not recommended to use if you have PCOS. These kits have problems anyway because they work on two misleading principles; namely that there is only one rise in LH every month and that such a rise is followed by ovulation. Both are certainly not true. Also these kits measure LH: if you are one of many PCOS patients who has an excess of LH, the kit measures that so gives you a false result.

I'm on letrozole and I've had a follicle scan today CD11.

Right ovary 13mm follicle
Left ovary multiple 10mm follicles
Lining 7.1mm

I'm being rescanned on Wednesday and hopefully the 13mm follicle will have grown a bit more and it'll be clear it's the dominant one.

Hi does anyone know if this means I'm fairly close to ovulation?

Lining: 10mm
Right follicle: 1.8cm (followed by 1.6cm, 0.87cm)
Left follicle: 1.83cm (followed by 1.0cm, 0.56cm)

Pelvic scan today but didn't ask about ovulation window prediction so going a bit crazy with reading my results now Blush

Slightly different as I'm doing a FET but my clinic wanted to see a dominant follicle of 14mm and lining above 7mm before giving me trigger shot for ovulation. If I remember right from my previous egg collection they wanted follicles of around 14-18mm
