    Hello !

    All the best for ur ICSI, hope ur cycle is a successful one ! :)

    In ICSI as there are multiple follicles due to aggressive stimulation, the doctor would want to get maximum no of follicles (mature/viable) above 18mm.
    Anything above 18mm size is considered matured and viable.
    All the best ..!

    The doctor stimulates to get the maximum no of eggs in one cycle.
    If it's less than 4 follicles , it's called a low responder or low ovarian reserve.
    They aim at getting as many as possible , is because at every stage , eggs r lost.
    Not all eggs get fertilised. And not all fertilised eggs multiple n divide to form healthy embryos.
    At the end of day 3/5, the doctor atkeast would need 2-3 grade A , top quality embryos to transfer for increasing the chances of successful implantation.
    Not that low quality embryos don't lead to pregnancy , but the chances lower as the quality goes down .
    Are u doing an IVF cycle ?

    Follicles need to reach above 1.8 cm for ovulation trigger. I think you have time to reach that mark. Eat protein rich food and rest well.
