Question 1

36yo 15mm endometrium at secretory phase. all associated organs normal. developed light spotting during ovulation and heavy periods. concern?

Accepted Answer

15 mm endometrium: At 36, the ovaries require more stimulation to produce eggs, which in turn increases estrogen production, thickening the lining of the uterus.  At "15 mm", this degree of "thickening" requires an endometrial biopsy, as your "heavy periods" may not be always b/c of ovulation, and excessive thickening can develop. See your gyn provider for additional testing .

Question 2

hi there, i had midcyle spotting that started three months ago that only happens during ovulation. 2 ultrasound confirmed a 4cm ovarian dermoid cyst. endometrium 1.4cm at day 20 of cycle, is my endometrium normal? i get my period on day 30/31.

Accepted Answer

Need surgery: dermoid should be removed
slight ovulation bleeding is not of significance
endometrium is showing excess hormonal activity

Question 3

age 25.ovulation study reports says both ovary size normal,but polycystic,many follicles. endometrium thickness 5 mm on 9th day of period,normal?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation : If the goal is to determine if you are ovulating and if you are fertile then other testing is needed. A mid luteal phase progesterone blood test can be done. This will give you much more useful information to guide fertility treatments

Question 4

can you have your endometrium thickened at the end of cycle but not ovulated that month?

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: Estrogen is released whether you ovulate or not. Estrogen stimulates the lining of the uterus and it thickens even if you do not ovulate. Progesterone surges with ovulation and matures the lining of the uterus. Even without ovulation the lining thickens.

Question 5

is it possible the last day of cycle to have thick endometrium 17 mm and no ovulation that month? did i have ovulation or not?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: The endometrial lining thickens as you go further into the menstrual cycle. You can not really determine if ovulation occurred by measuring the lining. Endometrial thickness is not usually clinically useful in someone your age unless being evaluated for very specific purposes

Question 6

thick endometrium means ovulation or possible pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Lining of uterus: When the lining of your uterus is thick it means that either you are in the last phase of your menstrual cycle or also it can be due to pregnancy. However, medical conditions of the uterus can also resemble a thick endometrium, like endometrial hyperplasia (pre -malignancy) endometrial polyps, or uterine fibroids.

Question 7

what is the ideal endometrium size post ovulation? can you conceive with 6mm day 19, 28 day cycle? ovulte on day 14

Accepted Answer

Yes: So anything can happen. And actually the lining right before ovulation is much more indicative of implantation success, normally it is ideal to have the lining at least 8 mm thick, but 10-12 is much more common.

Question 8

ultrasound showed thick endometrium and empty ovaries, does that mean i havent ovulated and havent conceived?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: There is not enough info here to evaluate the sonogram findings. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. The endometrial thickness evaluation depends on where you are in the menstrual cycles. "Empty ovaries" is not a term that is normally used so I would ask your Obgyn to explain what is meant by that phrase.

Question 9

is a 6mm endometrium lining post ovulation considered too thin on day 19 of 28 day cycle? what is the ideal measurement? ovulate day 14?can i conceive

Accepted Answer

Not the best test: The thickness of the endometrium (in a study) did not predict the outcome of pregnancy.  The best odds of conception are with intercourse 1-2 days before ovulation.  A surge of the hormone lh occurs about 1 day before ovulation.  Commercial kits to measure the lh surge are available at drug stores and are accurate.

Question 10

thick endometrium means ovulation or possible pregnancy? btw i take clomid (clomiphene) 3-7 100mg

Accepted Answer

Either: Thick endometrium is seen in either condition but there are better/simpler ways to diagnose pregnancy. Try urine pregnancy test at home. Feel better:)
