Since the endometrium develops as a function of the hormones that act throughout the menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone, it also has two different phases:
- Proliferative endometrium: its thickness increases little by little thanks to the effect of estrogens.
- Secretory endometrium: it matures and becomes receptive thanks to progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum.
An ultrasound can be used to measure the endometrial thickness and find out what stage it is in.
