Your Endometrial Thickness Pelvic Scan

This scan is performed by one of our qualified sonographers with diagnostic scanning experience. This scan is designed to help you in your fertility treatment journey by:

  • determining the thickness of the endometrial lining prior to implantation of a fertilised egg

  • detecting the presence and/or position of an intra uterine contraceptive device (IUCD or coil) if present

Please note that the ovaries are not scanned or measured as part of the Endometrial Thickness Scan. The Fertility Pelvic Scan includes the ovaries.

A Pelvic Scan is best performed trans-vaginally for optimum clarity and results. This means that the sonographer will ask for your consent to insert an ultrasound probe into your vagina. If you choose not to have a trans-vaginal scan, we may be able to complete the scan trans-abdominally (by placing an ultrasound probe on the skin of your pelvic area) - but results may not be as accurate.

You will receive a clear written report of your scan results, including our recommendation for your next steps. If we recommend a medical follow-up, we can email a copy of your report to your healthcare provider at no extra cost if you provide their contact details.
