How long does it take for a follicle to break after an ovulation promotion injection?

  The follicles usually break around 36-48 hours after the ovulation injection. If the follicles are mature enough, they can break within 24 hours, the exact time varies from person to person.  The follicle development process is divided into three stages: primordial follicle, growing follicle and mature follicle. Ovulation injections mainly include chorionic gonadotropin and recombinant human gonadotropin, which can encourage follicle growth, further maturation and expulsion, when intercourse can effectively increase the chance of conception.
