I just wanted to report back that I did get a second opinion and my OB/GYN found that the first ultrasound had two different measurements in the report that my first Dr. didn't catch. One measurement was 19.8 mm and the other was 10.8mm. After completing a second transvaginal ultra sound 7 days after my period my lining was only at 7.7mm and everything looked unformed. After reviewing the results of the first ultra sound the 10.8 mm was the correct number. So, why the bleeding? Well, the second GYN that I saw stated that I was having a surge of hormones right around ovulation. Since it was happening at the same time every month. To treat I can A). Live with it or
. Go on brith control. Right now I'm choosing to just live with it, vs going on a pill. Since I'm shedding my lining each month, I'm not in danger of it building up. If it gets worse over time I may choose to go on the pill then. Also, she feels that this just may be the start of the "Change"....which she stated can happen 10 years before you actually go through menopause. Fun!
Thank you for all your advice!

How thick is to thick for Uterine Lining. I recently had a vaginal ultrasound that showed no abnormalities but my uterine lining was 19.8 mm, 10 days prior to getting my period. I'm 38 years old. Doctor thinks it is a hormonal imbalance. What do you think?

Thank you again for your quick response, and I will be sure to let you know what the second opinion states.
Regards to having a regular cycle but not ovulating. I have two children 11 and 9 and had no troubles with conception. Can you start NOT ovulating and any given point? Could this be the start of perimenopause? Also, can you have low progesterone levels and still ovulate? One more thing, if it were something more serious (cancer) would there be more obvious signs? Sorry for all the questions, there is just so much to learn on this topic!!
Thank you again for all the very helpful information. It has been very much appreciated!

Thank you so much for all your response. I have contacted a GYN for a second opinion, just wanting for them to receive my ultrasound results to schedule. However, in the mean time I have looked into the possibility of low progesterone. I believe I still ovulate (I am very regular, every 28 days) can you ovulate but still get a period? Or, what I think may be happening is I'm ovulating, but like Mrs. Harrison said, I may have low progesterone during ovulation. I am spotting/light bleeding also during that time (which is what prompted the ultrasound to begin with). It doesn't last long, but could this also be a sign of low progesterone?
Since then (about a week now) I have been on 100 mg's of b complex daily. I don't know if this has anything to do with controlling my hormones, but I seem to have less pms symptoms ie, breast tenderness (which is usually really bad for me). I was talking with a lady I work with and she has been using a natural progesterone cream around ovulation and has helped her ton. She urged me to try after this cycle, however, I really don't want to start messing with my hormones (outside of b complex) until I get a second opinion. What do you think?
Just one more question....(sorry). Can you have an trans vaginal, and abdominal ultrasound and miss polys or fibroids? My doctor said that everything looked uniform, that is why she jumped to a hormonal cause.
Again, thank you for your responses. It has helped me to look at other possibilities other then cancer (because that is what my mind jumped to). Praying that the second opinion comes soon.
