Follicles

after you ovulate do your follicles disappear?

[Heather5]

After the egg has been released, the follicle becomes what is called a corpus luteum and starts to produce progesterone for a possible pregnancy. If you're not pregnant, it will dissolve at the end of the cycle. Hope that helps :-)

The other follicles that did not release the egg are reabsorbed into the body. Usually only the dominant follicle (sometimes more) releases the egg.

I am so glad someone else asked this. I'm doing my first IU next month and I've been confused about the whole follicle thing. Thank you :)
