Brief Answer:
Hi, follicle quality can't be assessed on ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic.

I think it is difficult to assess the follicle quality on ultrasound. Some parameters like perifollicular blood flow can be measured. But it can only be confirmed by taking out the eggs from follicles while going for IVF.

If you are undergoing ovulation induction with timed intercourse for conceiving, you can take injection HCG 5000 IU now as follicles have grown to size more than 17 mm. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 days.

Get a scan done after 3 days to confirm the rupture and take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test after that.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Hi I think it is possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hi I think it is possible to conceive because sperm remains capable of fertilizing the egg for 3 days and egg is viable for fertilization for 24 hours. So, there is a chance of pregnancy this cycle.

You can have good follicle next month also. Hope it helps.
