Brief Answer:
It absolutely normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
As long as its in the safe range and she is not having post menopausal bleeding you need not be worried.
Just 6 monthly scans and look out for symptoms such as spotting and bleeding should be enough.
A 1.5 mm increase is not significant and could be due to subjective difference of the person conducting the ultrasound.
Do not worry.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
