Pretty thick: Around ovulation, we expect the endometrium to be about 8-10 mm (0.8-1.0 cm) thick at the most. 1.3 is pretty thick, and if the biopsy shows hyperplasia, it should be treated with progestin therapy.

Thick: The thickness of your lining depends on where you are in your cycle. Your need further evaluation.

So I didn't get a period for 3 months, up until valentine's day, and I'm still bleeding 30+ days later. Do you think the uterine lining just built up over the three months so it's taking a while to shed it all? Or could it be something else?
