Anyone know how long.....?

A collapsed, ruptured follicle stays visible and super pretty and clear on a dildocam?

I had that ultrasound this morning, my doc asked for last week, to confirm that my uterus is all pretty. This doc asked me where in my cycle I was and I told her that I usually O today, but that my temps were weird this month and I might've ovulated 4 days ago.

She cammed me and said 'yep, you ovulated allright' and then showed me the pic of the ruptured follicle all collapsed. She had a resident with her, who looked at it too and was all 'whoa, you hardly ever see them this clear, this actually looks like the way they draw it in textbooks.

So I asked if you keep seeing it that way until AF shows and she said no. She said you could possibly see for a few days, but there's no way to tell when it actually happened past the fact.

I followed up and told her I'm usually super regular, the resident was totally interested and said that indeed, she couldn't say for sure, but that she thought that I really had just ovulated, based on how clear and visible and pretty it was. That if I had indeed O-ed 4 days earlier it would've been hard, if not impossible, to see the ruptured follicle at all.

I googled my little butt off, but I can't find any pics or info on this online. Only that that ruptured follicle will become the corpus luteum and that that's invisible on ultrasounds.

So I have a really really really good feeling about just O-ing this morning. Which also gives me a 10-fold-better chance of actually hitting the jackpot this month.

Sorry for writing a novel. I'm just so excited about my pretty pretty follicle!

I don't have a clue about your question, but I'm hoping you're right and that you've got good odds this month. Good luck!!

I also have zero input to your question, but hopefully this is the month for you!

Dude, what I saw on the screen was way way way prettier than the ovulation they show on the picture swizzle just posted. Which looks like I might've really JUST ovulated when she cammed me.
I really truly hope so, that'd give me such awesome chances this cycle!

All I found was IUI related as well, but they all got trigger shots as well, so that might influence how quickly things change. Dunno.

Thanks for the pic though! That's exactly what I was looking for :-)

Very cool! Makes you wonder if we put too much stock into FF.
