Background & Objective: Infertility in women can be attributed to a wide variety of factors, including inherited and acquired abnormalities of the uterus. Ultrasonography is used for determining the thickness of the endometrium during various phases of the menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study is to determine the thickness of the endometrium in women who are unable to conceive using ultrasound imaging during the secretory phase.Materials & Methods: A total of 134 adult females between the ages of 22 and 45 were examined by means of an endo-vaginal and transabdominal approach with EVN 4-9 MHZ and CA1-7AD probes, respectively, during the course of this research project, which took place in Imam Al-Hujjah Charitable Hospital, Karbala, Iraq, between February 2021 and April 2022.Results: The findings showed that primary infertility accounted for 69.4% of cases, which was significantly higher than women with secondary infertility, which accounted for 30.6% of cases. There were 68.8% of women who presented with primary infertility who had endometrial thickness between 9-12 mm, and there were 31.1% of women who presented with secondary infertility who had this thickness. 65.8% of women who are experiencing primary infertility and 34.1% of women who are experiencing secondary infertility have an endometrial thickness of 14-18 mm. Our study showed that 40% of women who suffer from primary infertility and 60% of those who have secondary infertility have an endometrial thickness of 19-23 mm.Conclusion: When it comes to diagnosing and treating infertility, ultrasound is a crucial tool for measuring the thickness of the endometrium in women.
