Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If your cycles have been regular and 26-28 days cycle, then ideally day 10 endometrial thickness should be between 6-8 mm it is slightly more than the normal. If you have been trying to conceive then it is suggested that you start using ovulation kit from day 11 daily to check for LH surge and then plan for natural intercourse from the day it comes positive for the next five days daily. This would help increase your chances of conception.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, please do not be worried at all. At your age, endometrial cancer is unlikely. However, the ET (endometrial thickening) in endometrial cancer is often seen to touch above 18 mm even in the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. So 9 mm is fairly fine during the ovulation period and there is no apparent need to be worried with regard to the possibility of endometrial cancer in your case. A case of endometrial cancer presents with heavy irregular bleeding with clots and has endometrial hyperplasia with atypia as a finding of histopathology for the endometrial biopsy sample. So relax. To keep your anxiety at bay you can repeat the USG (ultrasound) again after a month on the same day and compare the endometrial thickness again.
