If fluid is seen in the endometrial cavity on ultrasound will i misscarry?

---

I had a missed misscarriage in July and found out at the 12 week scan that the baby had stopped growing at 9 1/2 weeks.
I am now pregnant again and have had hcg levels took and the first was 3006 then 48 hours later 5978, which the doctor says is good.

I have had a ultrasound and a transvaginal ultrasound today and the heartbeat, sac and fetal pole could be seen on both. I am about 6 weeks but the sonographer has also seen some fluid in the endometrial cavity about 2 cm by 1/2 a cm what does this mean, does it mean i'll misscarry again?

Did you not ask? and even if you did not if you was at risk the sonographer or Dr would have told you surely can you not phone hospital to put your mind at rest.  (+ info)

I am 27 yrs old and would like to know what the normal thickness for my endometrial stripe is?

---

I have been having 2-3 periods a month so I went and had blood work done (which haven't gotten back yet) and ultrasounds. The results of the ultrasound came back with me having an endometrial stipe of 5mm in thickness and multiple normal appearing follicles on my right ovary. What I would like to know is the normal thickness of the endometrial stripe, and could ANY of this be related to my other problems such as my stomach problems (kind of like irritable bowl syndrome but tests came back neg.) severe lower back problems, constant urination and urinary tract infections, and my "periods" are alot heavier than normal. Intercourse is extremely painful and I often bleed afterwards. So if any one could offer ANY advice I would be very greatful. Thank you in advance.
see a second dr. and get her advice. Honestly, I would not trust the answers on here in regards to that.
Don't know your location If you are in So. CAL. Saddleback womens hosp. in Laguna Hills, has wonderful kind knowledgeable doctors... they can help you.  (+ info)

What is the side effect of progesterone treatment in post menopausal women with endometrial thickness of 11mm?

---

I am 43 years old. I had some vaginal bleeding after 16 months of perimenopause. I was diagnosed as having endometrial thickness 11mm. Biopsy done 6 months ago. Now the trans vaginal scan shows thickness as 9.7mm. Biopsy taken now & I am awaiting results. The gynec says progesterone treatment may be started. Is it the correct treatment? What are the side effects? Please help.
Simple or complex hyperplasia? With or without atypia? More information would be helpful (which is why they did the biopsy).

Progesterone treatment is the best option except for when atypia is present, although it can be used (and is sucessful in 2/3 of cases, thus avoiding the need for a hysterectomy, but you would need periodic biopsies to watch for additional atypia).

Side effects of progesterone treatment can vary from woman to woman. Some may gain a little weight, others may develop depression. Many do not notice anything except being a little more tired than normal. There is an increased risk of blood clots, especially if your are obese and smoking. Your doctor should explain what possible side effects there can be so that your treatment can be altered or stopped if needed.  (+ info)

can they do an endometrial biopsy during menstrual period?

---

I am curious if anyone KNOWS for sure about this. If there is an appt scheduled for me to have an endometrial biopsy and I started my period the day before, will they still do the biopsy? I will call my dr in the morning and ask. But since I am so nervous about it, I thought it would be nice to know tonight. Thank you for your help!
yep,
I had mine done at that time.
if they do it the same way expect some pain and cramping.
if you can take some pain killers before check with you doctor what would be best.
the pain was gone in a day.
good luck with your test.  (+ info)

Any natural ways of impoving endometrial lining?

---

Wife and I have been ttc for 2 yrs and have tried 2 IUI's with clomid. Dr. says it could be that the endometrial lining is shedding before the egg is released and that it might require aggressive meds to slow down the process.. We would like to avoid that for now and see if there are any natural ways of improving the endometrial lining and the timing of when it developes so an embrio can implant.. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
There could be too many reasons...

Is her Luteal phase too short? It's time between ovulation and next period. It usually lasts 10-17 days, some doctors think that there is a problem if it is less than 12 days. Vitamin B6 could help, or natural U.S.P. progesterone cream.

If the lining is too thin, estrogen levels need to be boosted. Interestingly, I read in one source that soy could help, while other sources say that soy acts as a contraceptive.

Poor diet may negatively affect endocrine system, it's good to avoid sugar and simple carbs, stay healthy and stress-free

Unfortunately, medicine is not advanced enough to help, unless the reasons for infertility are too obvious.  (+ info)

Can anyone tell me about endometrial ablation?

---

I am considering endometrial ablation as an alternative to birth control pills to alleviate extremely heavy and painful periods. I've been on the Pill for years, but now that I'm over 40 the potential for serious side effects worries me and I'm seeking an alternative. My family is complete, so I'm fine with the permanance of ablation.

I understand many women never get their period after ablation, or if they do, it's very light. Do you still get PMS? I would expect so, since the ovaries are still intact. Does cramping disappear entirely? Anything else you can tell me to help me make the most informed decision?
Hi there...

I had an ablation done back in 12/04, for very heavy/problematic periods. You are right in saying that some women don't have a period anymore afterwards, while some have lighter ones. I myself have much lighter periods, and am quite happy with that. :)

You obviously know that an ablation ends being able to be pregnant again. If you do decide to go with an ablation, my suggestion to you is to have the Essure procedure done at the same time as the endometrial ablation. Both the ablation and Essure are done via hysteroscopically, there is no cutting involved. Essure is less invasive than a tubal ligation (in which there is an incision made).

Essure involves placing tiny coils into the fallopian tubes, causing scar tissue to build, therefore blocking the tubes... therefore preventing pregnancy. For 3 months after this is done you must use a back-up form of bc, and then an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) is done to make sure that the tubes are blocked. (That's the dye test.)

An endometrial ablation does not get rid of PMS. I wish it did... LOL. (I have severe PMDD... premenstrual dysphoric disorder.) But it's still helpful in that the periods are definitely much lighter... and, like you said, some women find themselves lucky enough to have their periods stop.

After the procedure(s) there is some bleeding and cramping, but not for too long. I think the worst for me was the day of surgery... and the next day, the pain was very minimal, while the spotting went on for a bit longer, but not too long.

I wish you all the best in your decision making. I hope that this was informative enough for you. :)  (+ info)

What is atypical hyperplasia of the breast?

---

Mine is not cancerous, but can it turn into cancer, and what can I do to prevent it from turning into cancer. Right now they have me on tomxafin.
You're already doing what you should do, taking the tomixafin. Atypical hyperplasia means that the cells are abnormal, but not cancerous. It does put you at a higher risk in developing cancer. If you have family history that raises the risk. But because you've discovered this you will be monitoring very closely and if indeed something turns up, you'll be ready. Tomixafin is the treatment of choice because it works...so try not to worry too much.  (+ info)

why people who have heart and lung disease can not done endometrial biopsy?

---

i'm a little bit curious to know what is the relation between endometrial biopsy and heart n lung disease. i just read a statement says that people with those disease can not done endometrial biopsy.why?
Hmmm. Maybe it's because if there's a complication, surgery may have to be performed. But surgery is infinitely more dangerous if you have heart and lung disease. So the risk is not worth it.  (+ info)
