UU uterus sizes? calling all experts :)

[Guest guest]

What a sad and wonderful mix today on the message board!

I have a boring question for any of you who might know- what's a

normal size uterus, and what are some of you UU's? Also, does

anyone know about thick endometrium?

I just got numbers back from a cycle day 21 pelvic sonogram, and

haven't had a chance to research yet. Besides, you guys here seem

to have more of a clue than most of the official sources out

there.

Here are my results:

Uterus- 9.6 x 3.5 x 5.3cm

Endo stripe- 0.2cm (20 mm seems really thick to me!)

Right Ovary- 3.3 x 2.8 x 2.4cm; 2.3 x 2.0 x 1.8cm cyst

Left Ovary- 3.2 x 2.6 x 1.9cm; 1.2 x 0.9 x 0.9cm cyst

Anyone care to translate?

Maddie,

Everything looks pretty good except the endometrium, which is two-tenths of

a centimeter thick, or 2 mm. (or am I having a math brainfart today?) That

is fairly thin for CD 21. The cysts could be corpora lutea, or just cysts .

.. . the size is in the ballpark for corpora lutea, cysts and fairly mature

follicles . . . but a 2-mm. endometrium is thin for anything but the very

beginning of the cycle.

Uterine dimensions look pretty good to me. I would say that they are more

or less the same as a whole uterus. From what I can remember, my SU uterus,

which had a complete and muscular septum, measured 6.1 cm in breadth--also

normal.

I'd ask about that endometrial stripe!

Good luck.

Thanks Beth-

I just had a rush endometrial biopsy because the prelim report said

endo strip was 0.2 cm- that's 20mm, insanely thick, seen only with

carcinomas. The gross sample looked very normal, but I have a few

days to wait for the official path results.

Then we looked at the text part of the US/radiology prelim report,

and the radiologist had written " thinned endometrium 0.2cm "

So now I'm convinced that all the worry was for nothing except a

misplaced decimal. Shoulda been 0.02cm. Phew!

Hopefully I'm just dealing with a thinned endometrium, which after 5

cycles of clomid 200-250mg (!) and no ovulation is not surprising

(my luteal phase progesterones are consistently below 1

Take care!

Hmmmm. 2.0 cm = 20 mm., so a 2-mm stripe notated as 0.2 cm is

correct. 0.02 cm would be like a molecule thick!

Oh Lordy . . . 5 cycles of Clomid at that dosage will do that,

especially if they're back-to-back. Sounds as if you need to move on

to injectables, maybe. Do you have PCOS? That is frequently

resistant to Clomid but responsive to a lot of other stuff.

I once had a 14-mm. uterine lining in the middle of a Clomid +

Pergonal cycle. I remember being a little worried about its

thickness . . . but everything worked out okay.

Good luck!

Trying to catch up on posting.

Here are the measurements I was given on my UU.

Uterus- 6.5 x 2.9 x 4.3cm

Endo 0.6cm

Left. Ovary- 2.1x3.0x2.7cm

Rt.Ovary- 3.5x3.2x2.6

Hope this helps. I have often wondered the same thing.
