Tricky question
That's a tricky question because you still haven't gone through menopause and what's normal is going to vary depending on where you are during your cycle. Just prior to your period it's most likely going to be at its thickest. What you really need to ask yourself is how many of the risk factors for uterine cancer do you have?
Family history
overweight or obese
Early onset menstruation
Late onset menopause (i.e. the longer you menstruate over a lifetime, the greater your risk)
Lynch Syndrome (diagnosed by genetic testing)
Age (tends to occur after menopause)
Diet and excersize (poor diet and sedentary life-style create body inflammation that can cause gene mutations)
No pregnancies
Never on "the pill" (can have a protective effect if you are on it for at least 5 years)
Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Having had endometrial hyperplasia in the past
History of breast or ovarian cancer (especially if Tamoxifen was used)
History of pelvic radiation to treat another cancer
estrogen use after menopause
