endometrial stripe thickness but i have very low estrogen & progesterone
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am 37 years old, a mother of 2, and overall very healthy, active individual. Within the past year I have had some changes in my menstrual cycle and problems sleeping. My period still comes on time, but I have had large clots for periods, other times I am quite light, there's times when I have spotting in between periods, and then there is times when all seems normal. I also have some hair thinning.
My hormones were recently tested and came back with very low estrogen and very low progesterone (menopause levels). Every other hormone came back normal.
My ultrasound results came back with "17mm endometrial stripe thickness" and "no endometrial abnormalities identified" and says "endometrium is at the upper limit of normal for secretory phase, minimal pelvic free fluid, likely physiologic."
I now have to have an endometrial biopsy.
What's going on?....From what I have gathered from information on the web, it says endometrial thickening is caused by too much estrogen and not enough progesterone.
This isn't making sense to me. Maybe everything is fine and I am just in perimenopause?

Hi Texasmom,
It does sound like you could be from the symptoms you have listed. Have you seen the "66 symptoms of perimenopause" post on here? There may be more you have and not realised it's connected.
I can't offer any advice on the endo side of things but please don't google it, it's the worst thing you can do.
This is a great site and there is also a great free app I use to connect with other women in Peri, it also has other features such as "knowledge hub", "recommended products" sections and much more. If you'd like details let me know 😊
