A member asked:

I had an ultrasound done and it says "the right ovary was slightly enlarged with multiple follicles in different stages of development" what is that?

Sounds normal: I won't try to give you a diagnosis without seeing the ultrasound images, but that sounds like a very normal typical report. Follicles are (natural) ovarian cysts that all reproductive age women have, and should have.
