So I am new at this. Had an ultrasound to check into things because I am almost 42 and only have 1 ovary.

The results stated this:
Normal left ovary containing multiple follicles with a dominant follicle measuring 1.4 x 1.2 x 2.7 cm.

I am trying to line this up with my symptoms and figure out if/when I ovulated. I keep seeing 18mm+ for dominant follicle means ovulation could be soon. But - which one of these measurements are being used??? The average? The biggest?

Thanks in advance.

The report says I have a dominant follicle on my left ovary measuring just over 18cm. It is oblong, so possibly just ruptured or about to. This does match my symptoms - I had EWCM in the days leading up to the scan and was feeling good overall; then in the days after the scan, I started to feel dry and too warm.

I have an appointment in a few days, but via the portal, my gyn sounded like she was already trying to act like this is all normal and great, even though I haven't had a period in 2 months and the 4 before that were progressively lighter. My FSH a few weeks ago was over 100 and my joints were achy. I was going to ask for HRT during this appointment.

ChatGPT suggests that, in fact, having dominant follicles that reach 18+mm is fairly common in POI and the issue is they don't rupture as expected due to various factors. Does anyone have experience with this?

To be clear - I am not trying to conceive. I just want to understand what is going on with my body and not get blown off by my doctor. My understanding is that HRT would not hinder whatever process my ovary is going through, so maybe it doesn't matter? Do I just wait and see if I get a period in a few weeks before starting?
