How do I know how if I have enough endometrium left to carry a child?
The optimal measurement for endometrial thickness is 8mm or more at mid-cycle which is Cycle Day 12-14 in a 28-day menstrual cycle. This can most accurately be measured using an ultrasound, often an intravaginal ultrasound which uses a small wand inserted in the vaginal canal to perform the ultrasound. The exact thickness of your lining may not be that crucial. There have been pregnancies carried to term by members of this group with linings as thin as 4-5mm. In fact, many doctors feel that once your uterus is free from scar tissue, the exact measurement of your lining is not as important as your having a normal period. The other important factor is whether the endometrium is continuous or is in patchy islets which can hinder the ability of an embryo to implant. Islets of endometrium can sometimes be visualized during an ultrasound, but the only reliable way to tell if your endometrium is continuous is through a hysteroscopy.
