Follicles and fertility – What really matters, and what should we know?

How many follicles are good for fertility? (& more FAQs answered)

When trying to conceive, you’ll often hear about follicles – but what exactly are they, and how do they help your doctor understand and optimize your fertility?

Whether you’re planning for the future or in the middle of treatment, understanding follicle development can help you take charge of your journey.

To answer your most-searched questions, we went live with Dr. Deborah Ikhena-Abel (Dr. Debo) from Aspire Fertility Austin, part of The Prelude Network.

Watch as we cover:

• What follicles are and why they matter for fertility
• How follicle count relates to fertility potential
• The role of follicles in natural conception, IUI, and IVF
• How fertility clinics track and measure follicle development
• The ideal follicle size for conception
• Whether IVF affects follicle development or egg quality
• Ways to optimize follicle health, including medications, lifestyle, and supplements
