So say before your period starts does the endometrium go thin?
I did a ultra sound 12 hours before my period and endometrium measures 4.4. On thw test it stated "later" and my doctor said it was normal as 24 hrs before your peiod the endometrium thins out due to the break down of corpua luteum. Is this correct?

Brief Answer:
Yes its correct.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
During luteal phase corpus luteum produce progesterone which is necessary for fertilisation.(which also makes endometrium thick).
If the corpus luteum dies due to non -fertilisation of egg then the progesterone level falls and endometrium starts thining.
And thus menstruation occurs.
So i said that it thins just before menstruation.
Hope i helped you.

So 12hrs before a period would the endometrium appear thinner as it is starting to shrink. The inschemic phase?

Brief Answer:
Yes, you are right.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.

Yes, you are right. Endometrium will be thinner just before the periods, as it has no hormone progesterone to support its growth.

Hope I helped you.
