  • visible follicles on u/s after ovulation?

    Hi, I would really appreciate any insight...
    My LMP was Dec 20, I usually have cycles around 31 days. On Jan 5 (16 days after LMP) I went to the dr. and she made a transvaginal ultrasound. We saw on the U/S 3 follicles, two were bigger on one side and a smaller one on the other side. She told me if we had intercourse that and the following two days we had a good chance of getting preganant, even twins. On Jan 20 (32 days after LMP or 16 days after the U/S) I had a quantitative blood test that was: 3,985.
    Now according to beta charts I've seen, for this to be normal, I would have to have ovulated way before the ultrasound. My question is:
    - Is it possible to ovulate one day and then 5 days later still have follicles visible on an ultrasound?
    Or maybe I do have 16 DPO high values? Can this mean something's wrong?
    Thanks for reading/answering!!

    Some doctors confuse corpus luteum cysts for follicles. Follicles occur before ovulation, and corpus luteum cysts form after ovulation.
