This includes orange juice. Once your baby has started solid foods, they can usually be introduced to small amounts of water or juice. Most pediatricians recommend using juices that do not contain acid, which can be very hard on a babyâs stomach. Usually, babies will start with prune, apple or grape juice.
Ovulation is the release of a mature egg (ovum) from the ovarian follicle. Each menstrual cycle, several ovarian follicles begin to mature and develop under the influence of pituitary hormones. Usually only one follicle develops fully.
A mature follicle is a follicle ready for ovulation, meaning, the egg inside it is developed and ready to be released (with the hopes of fertilization taking place). A follicle will typically release (ovulate) when it reaches maturity size. Maturity is considered 18-24mm on non-medicated cycles and 15mm+ for medicated cycles. What your doctor was saying was that as best she could tell, you have one--possibly two--follies that are quickly reaching maturity... 15mm.
