Q. Is it possible to get pregnant with 7. 6 mm of endometrial thickness?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From your query I understood that you have a previous history of miscarriage and a follow up scan showed a 13 mm endometrium thickness. A 13 mm endometrium thickness is borderline, which means you may or may not have required a surgical evacuation at that time. Also, endometrial thickness is not a valuable guide and we consider the clinical parameters like bleeding per vagina as more important for opting evacuation. I have gone through your recent ultrasonography report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) where endometrium is 7.6 mm. It is fine and I must say you it has nothing related with your previous poor pregnancy outcome. Both the ovaries are also normal and this is essentially a normal scan report. Could you elaborate me whether you have any associated disorders as evidenced in your past case history? If such a case then you need a detailed treatment of those conditions first. Otherwise, there is a possibility of another similar mishap. If you are fit at present then just start to have Folic acid 5 mg tablets once a day. This will help your pregnancy against developing few congenital anomalies.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

An endometrium thickness of 7.6 mm is fine according to the day of cycle you have done the USG (ultrasonography). This thickness is different from the previous endometrial thickness of miscarriage. As I told you, there is no relationship. For conception, you need a thick endometrium. Do not get demoralized only after two months of trying. You should try for at least six to nine months before opting for an obstetrician and gynecologist consultation. Ideally, we advice to wait and counsel the patient for timed intercourse only to get conceive. This means you try to have sex from day 10 to day 16 of your cycle regularly, which is the fertile period. You need not have to do those tests if you are disease free. I have only enumerated those as I have seen some diseases in your past diagnosis history. Just start the Folvite (Folic acid) tablet.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
