Introduction
If thin endometrium is caused by cyclical fluctuations in hormone levels, and the endometrial thickness reaches at least 7 mm or more during ovulation, women still have the possibility of natural pregnancy. By monitoring the ovulation cycle and timing intercourse appropriately, there remains a chance of successful conception and having a baby.
In general, a thin uterus refers to a thin endometrium. Whether a woman with a thin endometrium can have children depends on the specific condition of her endometrial lining. If the thin endometrium is caused by normal cyclical hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy is still possible; however, if the endometrial lining is extremely thin—far below the normal range—it is not advisable to attempt pregnancy. Individuals experiencing any discomfort should seek medical advice promptly. Detailed explanations are as follows:
If the thin endometrium results from cyclical hormonal fluctuations and the endometrial thickness reaches at least 7 mm during the ovulation period, natural conception remains possible. By monitoring the ovulation cycle and timing intercourse appropriately, women may still achieve successful fertilization and give birth to a healthy baby.
However, if the endometrium is excessively thin and significantly below the normal range, the fertilized egg will likely fail to receive sufficient support and nutrients for implantation in the uterine cavity, increasing the risk of implantation failure or miscarriage. Furthermore, an overly thin endometrium may impair normal embryonic development and raise the likelihood of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Women planning pregnancy are advised to undergo comprehensive physical examinations before conception and to follow targeted调理 (regulation) and treatment under the guidance of a physician.
