Aim: To ascertain the usefulness late follicular phase ultrasonographic evaluation of endometrial thickness in infertility assessment. Study design: A prospective cross sectional descriptive study. Methods: A total 127 subjects were scanned and endometrial stripe thickness were analyzed with the statistical package for social sciences version 21; ? ? 0.05 being considered statistically significant. Results: The ages ranged from 20-49 years with mean of 32.5 ± 5.2, while the endometrial thickness ranged from 0.1-16.0mm with mean of 2.2 ± 2.2 and measurement of
