What Endometrial Thickness Would Be Ideal On The 14th Day Of The Cycle For Conception?
Question: Doctor my ET is 7mm on 14th day, what is the problem
Brief Answer:
It is actually normal, no problem, need more details though.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
ET means endometrial thickness. During the course of the menstrual cycle, the ET grows. After your periods, it is thinnest, then it grows in preparation to receive a pregnancy in case you conceive. Around ovulation, which occurs on the day 14 in a normal cycle, it is thicker and then thickest after ovulation. Between days 8 - 14 of your cycle, a thickness of 5 - 7 mm is normal. Around day 21, it should be between 10 - 16 mm. Therefore, there is actually no problem as such with the ET.
During a follicular study, it is more important to track the growth of the egg (follicle) - follicular study. The size of the egg in the ovary is more important, as that will determine ovulation.
You can write to me with the details of the egg follicle. Also, a few more details will help:
* Since how long have you been trying to conceive?
* Is this your first pregnancy?
* 7 months back, you say you aborted due to an 'infertile baby'. However, there is no such term. Can you please provide details of the abortion?
* Why are you going for follicular monitoring so soon after the abortion?
* After an abortion, it is best to avoid conception for at least 3 months to recover health and vitality.
Yet, why are you seeking aid for conception so soon?
* Is this your first cycle of follicular monitoring?
* Are there other tests or investigations done so far? If yes, please upload.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care.
