When is it considered normal and how much should it be to favor embryo implantation? What is trilaminar endometrium?

The endometrium  is the mucous membrane that lines the inner walls of the uterus. This covering layer is essential for the establishment of a  pregnancy:  it is precisely in the endometrium, in fact, that the implantation of the embryo takes place a few days after conception.
