    It means they were able to see numerous follicles (which is normal) but, at the time of the scan, they were very small... less than a centimeter in measurement.

    Just before ovulation, you will produce a hormone (FSH) that causes these follicles to spring into action by starting the process of preparing an egg to be released for possible fertilization. This would cause them to start to enlarge.

    In each cycle many start the process, but, in most cases, only one egg will mature enough to come out of the follicle into the fallopian tube.

My legs are dotted with little spots where the hair follicles are. I shave my legs, so I am guessing that the little spots is the hair below the skin surface in the follicle.
