Diagnosis was luteal deficiency-and when you have luteal deficiency you often have a luteinized unruptured follicle,normal estrogen levels and lower progesterone,and endometrial changes reflect the hormonal environment.So,this unusual texture could be the result of such an hormonal unbalance-with clomiphene raising the estrogen levels thus giving the endometrium a thicker appearance.On the following cycle,on follicular phase,you should be able to see a normally appearing proliferative endometrium-after the abnormal one has shed .You only see this patterns after the midcycle-i.e. after the LH surge.

However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
