Hello,
A thickened endometrial stripe will not make one appear pregnant To give you some frame of reference, a thickened endometrial stripe might be considered at width of >15mm in a pre-menopausal woman. This does not affect the overall size of the uterus and thus would not mimick pregnancy. You should probably see an ob/gyn to be evaluated for why you are amenorrheic.

I just wanted to add that I have also been having many pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, being very tired, sore boobs (with very very light milk) and cramping. I have been pregnant before so know what to expect--my midwife just said I need to start something to start my period (I think Provera) and my growing stomach is due to my lining being so thick. Does this sound right?
Could an IUD removal cause all of this? It was removed Feb. 26th and I had a normal period Feb 28th. Havent had a period since and all the symptoms began occuring around end of March. I have seen my OB/GYN and she acts like its not a big deal and wants to put me on Provera........
Having a thick endometrial lining- Does this means that you are infertile? Or that you can not carry a child?
