Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Thick endometrial lining is present in endometrial hyperplasia, which is thickening of endometrium due to hormonal effect and is commonly associated with fibroids.
It is better to get a hysteroscopic guided biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely, if required.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
