Brief Answer:
Hysteroscopy required
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you are not in stress, I suggest you get Hysteroscopy done from your doctor to check Uterine cavity which is probable reason for less flow. If there is any abnormality which is not detected by ultrasound scan can be detected by Hysteroscopy.

Brief Answer:
Repeat ultrasound scan from a different doctor

Hi,
In that case you need to recheck your Endometrial thickness by another doctor. This is commonly seen when there is reduced Endometrial thickness.
