Hello,welcome to HCM,
Thanks for your query,
I want to set your worry at rest ,because of the following;
1. Each individual has a different physiology and it noral readings for all body functions have a range .
2. Thus menstrual period in the same person may vary in no. of days (this explains 15-20 day long bleed by your daughter)
3. Endometrial thickness varies with stages of menstrual cycle(2mm at beginning -15 mm just before the actual period starts.
4. Your daughter is 14,her cycles will tone down with age –since all her tests are normal.
5. She might be put on oral hormone therapy(estrogen+progesterone )pills to regulate periods for a few cycles.this is only by a gynaecologists advice.
Hope you see that everyting is normal and give it time.happy to help.
