My OBGYN told me that I have a thin endometrium. I have read about phytoestrogen and phytoprogesterone possibly helping to thicken the lining. What vitamins or herbs can you recommend to assist in thickening the endometrium? Thank you for your help.
Answer -
The best method to thicken your endometrial lining is estrogen therapy, and the easiest and safest method is by using birth control pills. This will, over a few months, cause a thickening of the endometrium. I do not know of any vitamins or herbs that can do the same.
Doctor, I apologize. I failed to mention that we are trying to conceive. Thank you for your time.
AnswerUntil your endometrium thickens, there is no way that a fetus can implant into the endometrium. If your endometrium is thin, it may be a good idea to go on birth control pills for a few months, until the endometrium is again thick. Then stop the pills and start trying to conceive. I would suggest that you discuss all of this with your gynecologist.
