I'm a bit worried about my current ovulation induction cycle. Last time, my follicles grew just fine and reached 19mm, but now my dominant follicle went from 14mm down to 12mm. Is it normal for follicle size to decrease in a cycle? What's causing this to happen?

Yes, it is possible for follicle size to reduce in certain cycles. This can happen due to factors like hormonal fluctuations, poor response to stimulation, or changes in the body's environment. While a reduction in follicle size, such as from 14mm to 12mm, isn't typical, it can occur and may not necessarily indicate a problem. It's important to follow up with your doctor to understand the specific reasons for this change.
