Brief Answer:
delayed menses...explained

Detailed Answer:
HELLO,
thanks for the query,
If the USG impression of thickened endometrium is after your missed periods and your menses haven't yet started then this is a normal finding of thickened endometrium.
Hypothyroidism is known to delay your menses or even cause amenorrhoea, so it is important that the thyroid levels have to be controlled with exogenous thyroxine tabs to bright TSH levels less than 5.
If you have missed your menses for more than 15 days now, then you may opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterones to resume your menses and of course thyroxine has to be continued at a particular dose regularly.
You may send your thyroid report and scan report for per usual.
