Thin Endometrium

Will a thin endometrium lining affect my pregnancy?

The innermost lining of your uterus is called the Endometrium. It has a thick texture and plays a key role in protecting your fetus from external factors, ensuring viable implantation and ensuring proper nutrition to the fetus. Hence, it is important for women to have a thick and healthy endometrial lining to achieve a successful pregnancy.

 

In order to have the desired endometrial or uterine lining, women must have adequate estrogen hormone levels. An average endometrial lining should be at least 8 mm and less than 7 mm is considered as poor endometrial lining.
