I went through ivf and was taking estrogen to thicken the lining after my retrieval (i.e. after O). Since implantation does not happen for a few days after O I guess estrogen has time to do its magic.
My lining on the day of my retrieval was not very thick (around 7.5) but my ob did not seem to be all that concerned. I was taking estrogen pills because it's what all ivf patients do not because he thought there was a problem. I got my bfp so I guess he was right.
Good luck to you with follistim. I hope it helps follicle development.
Hey miky!!
I can't remember every time, but I don't think it has been less than 6 and if it was, not by much. If something doesn't happen this cycle, I'm going to start getting more aggressive. This is the first cycle (this time around) that I have taken any stim meds at all. The only reason he gave them to me is because I had no follie growth. If things don't work out this cycle, I'm going to tell him I want to take stim meds every cycle until we get the bfp.
How are you doing? Are you going to give IVF another try?
Hannah I read in different sites and also my RE thinks that there should be no problem with a lining of 6.Do you have a thinner one?if not I have to agree with you that it does not make sense.
keep me posted,
Miky
