I had a myomectomy surgery five months ago to remove fibroids and now I'm trying to conceive. Recently, I got a follicular scan done on day 10 of my cycle, and the report showed echogenic endometrium. What does echogenic endometrium mean? Does it indicate my uterus hasn't fully healed yet? My endometrium thickness was 8.2mm is that normal for this stage?

An "echogenic endometrium" on a follicular scan means the uterine lining appears brighter or more reflective on ultrasound, indicating it may have some tissue or structures that are not typically present at that stage of the menstrual cycle. While a 5-month period is generally considered a sufficient healing time after myomectomy, the uterus is still recovering, and an echogenic endometrium could be linked to residual scarring or tissue changes from the surgery. An 8.2mm endometrium thickness at day 10 of your cycle is generally considered within the normal range for this stage.

I've been on Primolut N for 10 days and after stopping it, I had some withdrawal bleeding that lasted for 2 days. The first day was moderate with reddish-brown blood, and then the second day was just minimal, brown, and had some tiny clots. Is this normal? Do I need to be worried about these symptoms?

If it is the regukar duration of your cycle,no need to worry,if it is not,wait for next cycle,if that is also altered,visit Gynaecologist for evaluation and appropriate management
