My endometrial stripe was 18mm two days prior to my period. i had another ultrasound a few days after my period and it measured 5mm. should a d & c be considered in this case?

Q: my endometrial stripe was 18mm two days prior to my period. i had another ultrasound a few days after my period and it measured 5mm. should a d & c be considered in this case?

No: A D &amp; C is unnecessary, as the endometrium is probably down to its baseline measurement already.
