Re: Endometrial lining - Dusty

[Guest guest]

I am an ultrasound tech and there is a limit as to what is considered

normal, above or below normal. We measure the lining and if it is

within the normal limits, it is considered normal, with minimal

thickening. usually if you are having bleeding, they check to see if

there is a lot of thickening in the endometrium because it could be

lots of blood in there but if it is not thick, it probably does not

expalin the bleeding. they may need to look elsewhere as in a polyp,

do a biopsy, check ovarian function, etc. hope that makes sense, lol!

> Dusty, since you go regularly and get your Endometrial lining

checked...how do they determine what is considered 'too' much? I had

a recent ultrasound and told the tech that I was concerned about the

lining build up and she told me it wasn't that thick. This is after 3

months of no period. I know Dee doesn't use the progesterone along

with her estrogen...and that it can be done safely if monitored...but

again how does your doctor determine safety for thickness? Thanks,
