Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Unfortunately, if your follicle study show that there was an egg present on the 11th day and then on the 16th the follicle was gone, that means you already ovulated for that cycle.
The timing of ovulation when trying to get pregnant is critical even within a few days. So, missing an appointment can sometimes unfortunately miss the window of opportunity if you were planning insemination or some other procedure at your ovulation time as there is only a 72 hour window between when the egg ovulates and when you can conceive.
The good news is, the fact that your follicle disappeared shows that you actually do ovulate – sometime between your 11th and 16th day. So unless you've already failed trying to get pregnant through timed intercourse, making sure that you have sex between the 11th and 16th day of your cycle may be able to increase your chance of pregnancy.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that this information was helpful.
Best wishes in getting pregnant,
Dr. Brown
