Explanation / Answer

During the secretory phase thickness of endometrium of uterus is about 12mm and during menstrual phase it is 1-2mm. Difference is clear that endometrium is thick during secretory phase and thin during menstrual phase. It is because during secretory phase uterus is preparing itself to support foetus after fertilization but when fertilization does not occur at time, menses starts and endometrium starts depleting. Therefore, reducing the thickness of endometrium.

After one complete menstrual cycle thickness of endometrium again increases during various phases of menstrual cycle.
