12 is thick for day 2. A uterine fibroid??
I'm assuming yes.
I don't understand much about this but I had an ultrasound on CD21 and my lining was 6mm (I worried it was on the thin side).
Did they say where the fibroid is/what kid? Are you having TTC issues?
Typical lining starts at 3mm after AF and grow 1mm per day. Starting at 12mm, I am not sure where that puts you after O and what that kind of thickness means with a fibroid. I am assuming they want additional tests.
I just overheard these terms as they were doing the ultrasound. They will be following up with me after the CD9 sonohistogram and blood work today.
I can't speak for the rest but I had fibroids when I was a teen. They put me on BCPs to get rid of them. The follicle part means you have 10 follicles maturing an egg for ovulation. This doesn't mean you will ovulate that many as eggs mature at different rates and the first to mature is the one(s) released. The rest, I think, reabsorb into the body and the body starts all over if necessary next cycle.
The ten follicles are antrals. One mature egg will be recruited and ovulate. That's all normal.
Do not worry about fibroids. It is not unusual at all and hardly ever cause any issues whatsoever.Quote:

Are you sure you heard right on the endo lining?? Any possibility they were talking about something else?
I guess I could have heard wrong. She did say that every thing looked good accept fibroid. I'll get clarity after my sonohystogram on Friday. I guess I'm wondering why my gyno never told me about this. Can you not see it with a pap?Quote:
