Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I don't respond very much to estrogen. My endometrium grows by about 2 mm, but I do get a period. I can see endometrium grow on ultrasound on 50-75% of my uterus, but there is no growth in some areas. My doctors, at various points along the way, told me that I might not be able to regrow any endometrium or stay open. I think the doctor is still concerned that I could get recurrent adhesions and close down again. They do endometrial ablation deliberately for women who are having a lot of bleeding problems (e.g., around menopause) and 60% of them never bleed again (despite continued ovulation). So, it is possible to lose all your endometrium and not bleed at all in response to estrogen. As I understand it, if you lose the lining all the way down to the muscle below, it doesn't regrow normally. Just like someone with a third degree burn will not regrow hair and sweat glands. Even though they grow a scar to cover the wound, it is not normal skin. But, I think the first is to make sure whether or not your uterus is open. Have you had a HSG showing it is open?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 I'm sorry for the confusion. I was responding to B who had responded to your initial email with a question about injectable medication for herself as she is not responding to oral estrogen. I probably confused things even further by responding back to her response back to me using this same email title. I should have started a new email.
