I've got a question about my PCOD situation. So, I went for a follicle study and on the 11th day, my right ovary size was 2719 and the endometrium thickness was 9. Then, ovulation happened on the 13th day but my endometrium thickness dropped to 5.3. My doctor mentioned that this is due to my PCOD and prescribed me an HCG 5000 injection twice along with some tablets and sachets. I'm just wondering, with my endometrium thickness being at 5.3, is there a chance I could conceive in this cycle? Any insights would be appreciated.

With the HCG injections and medications prescribed by your doctor, there is a possibility of conceiving in this cycle despite the endometrium thickness of 5.3mm. The medications and injections are aimed at supporting the ovulation and improving the chances of successful implantation. It is important to continue following your doctor's instructions and guidance for the best possible outcome.
