Hi, thanks for writing..
Multiple follicle can be due to various causes, the most common being PCOS. You need to get a follicular study repeated on day 10 and on every alternate day till the follicle size reaches 20mm. It is the time you should have intercourse. A repeat scan need to be done to see whether the follicle has ruptured.. Then progesterone need to be taken for luteal phase support for 10 days. Hope I have answered your queries.. Good day.
