When going through fertility treatments, the endometrial lining will be checked throughout the cycle to ensure appropriate thickness. Sometimes, we see that certain drugs such as Clomid reduce endometrial thickness. Other times, the patient will have various other causes for thin lining.

- Genetic Factors
- Drugs such as clomid
