How much endometrium is suitable for pregnancy

A woman's endometrium will undergo some changes with her menstrual period, and the thickness of the endometrium also represents the woman's physical condition. Under normal circumstances, a normal endometrial thickness of 0.8-1.2mm is suitable for pregnancy. If the endometrium is too thin or too thick, it will easily affect normal pregnancy. You need to pay more attention to your physical condition.

How much endometrium is suitable for pregnancy?

Generally, the endometrium is 0.8 to 1.2 cm during ovulation, which is suitable for pregnancy. During the ovulation period, the dominant follicle is mature and the egg can burst out of the follicle at any time. Too thick or too thin will affect conception. The necessary conditions for pregnancy are that the ovaries release normal eggs, the semen contains normally active sperm, the eggs and sperm can meet and combine in the fallopian tube to become a fertilized egg and be transported into the uterine cavity, and the endometrium is suitable for the implantation of the fertilized egg. All of these conditions are indispensable, otherwise it will hinder conception and lead to infertility. The thickness of the endometrium is not static, but changes according to the menstrual cycle. Generally, the thickness of normal endometrium varies from 5 to 10 cm. The thickness of endometrium varies in different periods. The best thickness of endometrium in proliferative period is about 8 to 1.2 cm, which is most suitable for pregnancy.

Pregnancy is a natural physiological process of human beings. With changes in the environment and human lifestyle, one in five people experience difficulty in becoming pregnant or infertility. About half of these infertility causes are caused by female factors, and ovarian factors are the most common cause of female infertility. The female endometrium is also one of the important factors affecting conception. The thickness of the endometrium and the synchronization and receptivity of endometrial hyperplasia will affect the implantation of the fertilized egg.

What is the thickness of the endometrium that is suitable for pregnancy? Generally speaking, it is more suitable for pregnancy when the thickness of the endometrium reaches 1.2-1.5cm. As we all know, the endometrium is affected by the female hormone level every month, causing it to proliferate and grow, and secretory changes occur during ovulation. If there is no conception, the endometrium will necrotize and fall off due to the decrease in hormone levels, and bleeding will occur, forming menstruation. Even during menstruation, the endometrium appears as a "linear echo" on ultrasound, with a thickness between 0.2-0.4. The endometrium begins to proliferate when the menstruation is about to end. After the menstruation is completely over, the endometrium gradually thickens, reaching its peak during ovulation and the luteal phase. If the thickness of the endometrium is less than 1.0 cm, it is generally believed that the chance of pregnancy will be relatively small.

Therefore, some people figuratively compare the endometrium to soil and the fertilized egg to the seed. If the soil is poor, it will be difficult for the seeds to take root and sprout. The endometrium is easily damaged by intrauterine operations, especially during abortion and curettage, which can cause the endometrium to become thinner, or intrauterine adhesions, or even damage the microenvironment in the uterine cavity, causing the endometrium to become less receptive, and the ability of women to conceive is greatly reduced.
