Question : What r my chances of pregnancy with an endometrium lining of 6 mm?what are my options

Answered by Dr. Rhea Chanda (1 hour later)

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Implantation of the embryo depends on multiple factors.A thin endometrial lining reduces the chances of a successful implantation.6mm is definitely on the lesser side.Ideally,the endometrial thickness should be at least 8-9 mm for implantation to occur.However,sometimes oestrogen supplementation does help in increasing the endometrium thickness.You should consult your doctor if you are under infertility treatment.As i have said,multiple factors are at play here. A complete hormone profile should be done along with other tests to find out the key problem.

Thanks! Can u give me an approximate of succesful pregnancies qwith this problem? Should i go.for.infertility treatment now?

Well,the percentage varies between countries all over the world.But studies show,that at least 20% infertility cases have thin endometrium as a factor.As i have stated ,multiple factors are at work here.If you have tried naturally for at least 6months,and failed to conceive,then you and your partner can go in for a complete evaluation.It has been seen that IVF has had success(20-27%) in such cases.
