A developing follicle is an egg maturing in your ovary. When it is mature it will release, and that is called ovulation. The sperm still has to fertilize the egg, and then the fertilized egg still needs to implant in the womb for you to be considered pregnant.

Is there any chance of pregnancy after no dominant follicle seen?

Yes, although the odds are lower. A dominant follicle is a single follicle with a maturing oocyte in it that is much larger than all the other follicles that started to develop in this cycle. The dominant follicle is the one that will eventually rupture and release a fertile oocyte, so not having a dominant follicle means the cycle is more likely to not be a fertile cycle.


Which hormones secreted by developing follicles?

Ovulation ceases during pregnancy because the circulating levels of estrogen and progesterone are high and this inhibits the release of follicle stimulating hormone (which is necessary for ovulation.)

Can ripe follicles in a woman be tracked by sonar?

Yes. You can do daily ultrasound examination from the tenth day of your cycle. You can visualize the follicle in one of the ovaries. It may get to the size of 22 to 24 mm and next day it is not visualized. That means the follicle has ruptured to release the ovum. You can get pregnancy by having contact on the day of ovulation.
