Doctors’ responses
Hello,
🛑A 9 mm dominant follicle on Dec 9 means ovulation had not occurred yet.
Ovulation usually happens when the follicle reaches 18–24 mm, so this cycle is delayed compared to your usual 24-day cycle.
Ovulation most likely will happen around Dec 16 or later
Pregnancy risk depends on when unprotected intercourse occurred, especially in the 5 days before ovulation.
A pregnancy test is reliable 14 days after ovulation or after a missed period.
I hope this helps dear Thank you
