A member asked:

I had an ultrasound & it says right ovary measures 8.7mm is this normal? it doesn't say the size of the left but i was just about to ovulate from left

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovary: There are typically 3 measurements given to describe an ovary: width, length, height. It is a challenge to tell if a ovary size is normal without at least two. However there is a large variation in ovarian size and a measurement of 8mm does fall within the normal range
