A member asked:
Haven't had a period in 3 months. how thick should the endometrium be and should it be cause for worry? what is an easy way to check its thickness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound: is the absolute best way to check endometrial thickness. There is no "should" about how thick, it depends why you skip periods: if hypogonadotropic the EM will be very thin (4 mm), if anovulatory it may be thick (15-16 mm.) Hope this helps.
