Can I get pregnant if my endometrium is 13mm?

Many women may not know that the thickness of the endometrium actually changes with the menstrual cycle and has a fluctuation range. Therefore, during various routine examinations, you should be able to correctly understand the thickness of your endometrium and avoid unnecessary panic. So, is it possible to get pregnant with an endometrium of 13mm? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

The thickness of the endometrium changes continuously with the menstrual cycle. Generally speaking, the thickness of the endometrium is between 5-10 mm. Obviously, an endometrial thickness of 13 mm is a bit thick. However, if the menstruation is normal, it will not affect pregnancy.

If you want to know whether an endometrial thickness of 13mm is normal or not, whether it has any impact, etc., we need to first understand the normal endometrial thickness.

1. Ultrasound manifestations of proliferative endometrium:

In the early stage of hyperplasia, the endometrium appears as a thin echo line, about 4-6 mm thick. In the middle stage of hyperplasia, the endometrium gradually shows three strong echo lines, and the low echo area in between is two layers of functional endometrium with a thickness of about 8-10mm. In the late stage of hyperplasia, the thickness of the endometrium increases to about 9-10 mm.

2. Ultrasound manifestations of endometrium during secretory phase:

After ovulation, mucus and glycogen accumulate in the functional layer endometrial glands, the low echo turns into a strong echo, and the three-line sign gradually disappears; in the early secretion stage, the three lines are blurred due to the increase in endometrial light spots, but they can still be distinguished, and the midline echo of the uterine cavity is still clear; in the middle secretion stage, the three lines disappear, the endometrial light spots are significantly enhanced, and they appear uniform and strong echoes.

Experts say that the thickness of the endometrium changes significantly during the proliferative phase, while the thickness of the endometrium does not change significantly during the secretory phase, early, middle, and late stages. The normal value of the endometrial thickness is generally about 10-20mm. If you become pregnant, the endometrium will be affected by the corpus luteum of pregnancy and its thickness will reach twice its normal level.

The above is an introduction to whether pregnancy is possible with an endometrium of 13mm. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. The endometrium thickness of 13mm is normal and will not affect normal fertility. Generally, when the thickness of the endometrium exceeds the normal range, various abnormal conditions will occur in the body, such as various gynecological symptoms, and timely treatment is required at this time.
