Ultrasound pelvic report. The endometrium is poorly defined and measures 8mm.The uterine myometrium is mildly heterogenous with ill-defined myometrial-endometrial interface, suggesting adenomyosis. Does this mean I cant conceive naturally?

A member asked:

Ultrasound in 2018 stated mild adenomyosis. Im worried now that it could be mistaken for endometrial cancer as it also causes a thickened lining of the uterus. Would I have had more symptoms by now if it was (god forbid) cancer? Should I get biopsy?
