Endometrial thickness?

Quick question - I just got a call from my OBGYN with the results of a sonogram I had last week at 3dpo, CD16. His quote, "Everything looks good and normal", but I specifically asked him for the thickness because I had seen it mentioned on here and online as a possible issue and I am basically grasping at straws to figure out what is wrong at this point. Unexplained BS. He said it was 7mm. Does this seem within normal limits to those of you with knowledge about this?

Also, if not, do you have any advice for improving this naturally or is this something that should make me go ahead and start the transition from OBGYN to RE?

Thanks for any info in advance! I still feel so ignorant when it comes to this and know so many of you have (unfortunately) been going through this for a lot longer.

I just snatched this from the interwebs for what it is worth:

What is “normal” endometrial thickness?

There is no definite cut-off level below which implantation will not occur.  The consensus seems to be >7 mm in cross-section, with a triple-line endometrial pattern.  An endometrial thickness <6 mm is associated with a lower rate of full-term pregnancy.  Other publications suggest that thickness >9 mm is important.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do that

I've read that doctors tend to require a lining of 8mm+ to do embryo transfers in IVF, but then that is several days after ovulation, giving time for the lining to grow a bit. I saw a graph recently that showed the best results for 10mm+ but 7 and 8 still had good rates.

When I asked my new RE about lining and what he thinks is ideal he explained that drs differ with their opinion on the lining because all it is is a measurement. He explained that there is so much more behind implantation than the thickness of your lining.
When reading online I have seen anywhere from 5+ being acceptable!

Thank you ladies so much for your responses! After having done a little research today, I'm finding the same info. You're awesome.
