Thin Endometrial Lining
Are you worried about the thickness of your endometrial lining?
The endometrial lining is the middle layer of the lining of the uterus, it is this layer that sheds as blood in the form of a period in our menstrual cycle.
Newer research on 96000 participants that had an embryo transfer in IVF, shows the thickness needs to be a minimum of 6mm with increasing thickness correlated with increasing live birth rates. Below 6mm there is a drop off in live birth rates with a plateau after 7-10mm for frozen embryo transfers and 7-12mm for fresh transfers. Studies show you typically need a less thick lining for success with a frozen cycle compared to a fresh transfer.
We only have data about thickness of the endometrial lining from IVF as there are no scans done ‘in the wild’ for us to see how people conceive naturally!
More important than thickness, is a trilaminar appearance - seeing 3 parallel layers of the endometrial lining!
One of the best ways to increase the thickness of your lining is with acupuncture! If you are undergoing IVF or worried you have a thin lining, then book a consultation with us now.
