Question : I have just has a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy which has revieled that I have no lining on my uterus and some scarring. I was on the depo provera needle for 7 years and then Yaz for 1 year. My dr suggested that I go off all contraception to see if the lining will come back. I need to know what the chances of this happening are and what my chances of having children in the future will be. I am 26 years old

Brief Answer:
Your lining will improve

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Your endometrial lining is thin as you are on continuous contraception.

2) The lining will improve once you stop all contraception and let body hormones take over.

3) Stop the contraception immediately and get endometrium checked by ultrasound scan next month.

4) you have good chances of having children.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.
