General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I have read your query & understand your concern .
PLease understand endometrial thickness indicates activity of Hormone progesteron,which is needed for fetal support.
Normal endometrial thickness in pregnancy can be 6.3 mm to start with & it goes on increasing to support pregnancy with advance of pregnancy.
You wife has it 11.7 after abortion & postabortal bleeding. So it can not give any significant tress.
Please don't worry the abortion at 6 weeks gestation can be due to -abnormality in conception/hormonal insuffisiensy.
Please consult a gynecologist for getting investigated to find cause of abortion. few blood tests/ ovulation study/few tests for husband are carried out to pin point cause of abortion & early detection & treatment in next pregnancy is done to avoid repeat mishap
Thanks.
