Endometrium lining thickness - what's ideal for conception?

[buffy1]

Hi y'all

I need some advice - and apologies if this question has been posed elsewhere.

We've been TTC for six months and to ease our minds my lovely GP referred me for a pelvic ultrasound and full hormonal blood work-up.

Waiting to discuss the results but have read the ultrasound report....everything looks normal, it just noted that my endometrium was 6mm. This was at 3DPO, I'm now 6DPO and starting to spot.

Can anyone shed any light on what this means relative to the 'ideal' for conception? Does it need to be above a certain thickness for implantation?

I'm kinda counting myself out for this cycle but would be interested to know if this is an area that has/could have an impact on our chances...DH is getting his little guys checked in the new year.

Thanks,
B

I'll dig up my report for you, from memory mine was 8mm, and they said that was good, so 6 sounds fine. I'll see if I can find it for you.

ETA: It says: "The uterus is anteverted and has a normal, 7mm endometrial echo ."

So 6mm is normal

Thanks PZ!

You're welcome Hun. I have my full work up here so if you need any more comparisons lol! GL with getting your DH swimmers tested next year too...hopefully you won't even need to!

Fab! One less thing to worry about.

That's so thoughtful, thanks again. Yes, fingers crossed!

Yep about that. That's about what mine was when we conceived Jazz. The thicker the better for implantation.

Oh, great news - thanks Indadhanu
