Dear Doctor, My ultrasound shows thickening of endometrium (day 10 the same is 10 mm). Also some polypoidal thickening. Can this be the reason for non implantation of embryo? Would this affect my chances of success in ivf? I have been trying to coceive naturally for last 5 years. Had conceived naturally once but suffered miscarriage. Would be really thankfull for your guidance.
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. Proliferation and development of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) is normal during the cycle. 10 mm on day 10 is slightly on the higher side. However, polypoid thickening is not normal. It can definitely impact the implantation of the embryo.However, it is not a total contraindication for pregnancy. It would slightly reduce your chances of conceiving from the IVF procedure. Since you are yet to go for the process, don't worry about what you cannot change right now. If the endometrium is not favorable, your doctor certainly won't go ahead with the pickup and transfer. Just don't stress out and stop worrying. A slightly more than normal thickened endometrium might sometimes be favorable for implantation - you never know !Just keep your fingers crossed. All the betake care.
