How thick is the endometrium? Ovulation is conducive to implantation

Many people know that the endometrium changes throughout a woman's physiological cycle, and whether the thickness of the endometrium is normal during ovulation directly affects the implantation of the fertilized egg. Therefore, many women who are preparing for pregnancy want to pay attention to the question of how thick the endometrium is and whether ovulation is conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg. Then, they want to see if their endometrial thickness meets the standard. The specific changes in endometrial thickness are as follows:

1. Menstruation has just ended and the endometrium is very thin, with a thickness of only 1-2mm, or only the endometrial line can be seen.

2. The endometrium during the follicular phase is approximately 6-7mm.

3. During ovulation, the thickness of the endometrium is 8-9mm. At this time, the dominant follicle is mature and the egg can break out of the follicle at any time.

4. Shortly after ovulation, the endometrium is about 10-12mm thick, which is the time when the fertilized egg implants. This thickness is just suitable for the implantation of the fertilized egg.

5. The endometrial thickness before menstruation is 14-16mm.

Many patients believe that endometrial thickness is related to infertility. In fact, endometrial thickness is not the only factor leading to infertility. Changes in estrogen levels in the body directly affect changes in the thickness of a woman's endometrium, and monitoring the thickness of the endometrium through ultrasound can reflect the estrogen levels in the body. A thin single-line echo on ultrasound indicates low estrogen levels, while a woman's endometrium that is thicker than 14 mm indicates overstimulation by estrogen.

If the ovarian hormones are disordered, it can easily lead to abnormal thickening of the endometrium in women, which is called endometrial hyperplasia. It is caused by excessive amounts of itself irritating the endometrium. The clinical manifestations are irregular, heavy, abnormal uterine bleeding. Patients may experience continuous bleeding after a long period of amenorrhea, which may be suspected of miscarriage clinically. It may also manifest as shortened cycles and prolonged menstruation, with bleeding time lasting up to one month.

After knowing how thick the endometrium needs to be for ovulation to be conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg, it is recommended that women who are preparing for pregnancy and have not gotten pregnant for more than three months and have had a miscarriage before should insist on measuring the changes in the thickness of their endometrium to see if the thickness of their endometrium meets the standard. If it does not meet the standard, timely treatment is required to successfully become pregnant.
