Endometrial Thickness Scan

The endometrial thickness scan measures the thickness of the endometrium (womb lining) and is usually carried out in an IUI, IVF or egg donation cycle.

The endometrium is the inner layer of the uterus which changes at different stages of your cycle. Measurement of the endometrium is important because this is where the fertilised egg is implanted. A minimum thickness of 6mm is necessary for a successful pregnancy.
