Re: Endometrial lining- Dusty

September 19, 2007

the limits can depend on if you are menopausal or post menopausal.

since i am not sure of your situation, it is hard to say but on a post

menopausal woman, if the lining is larger than 5mm, they may have a

concern or may want to question to be sure everything is ok, but if

the person is on estrogen-progesterone hormone replacement, it can be

up to 8 and still be ok. if you are in the menstruating years,

depending on where you are in your cycle, your lining can be as thick

as 12-14mm. During the luteal phase is when you are going to ovulate,

that is when your lining should be at its thickest (around 13mm). if

a postmenopausal woman has a thickness over 10mm it can signal a big

problem. so if you are having no symptoms maybe they are just being

safe if you had any family history. hope that helps
