A member asked:

If you don't ovulate does your uterine lining thicken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

It can: When you don't ovulate, the ovaries may still produce lots of estrogen. Without the Progesterone that comes after ovulation, the lining may grow unchecked and over time lead to hyperplasia and cancer.
