Questions on thin uterus lining - please help!

[Sammy_J]

I am going for IVF. I have had 17 days of stims and today my largest follicle was 19 with over 30 follicles ranging from 11-18. So my ER will probably be in a few days. But my endometrium is only 4... i'm so worried! What is the use of so may eggs if they won't stick :(

Anyone got pregnant with a thin lining? Give me hope please!

Or does anyone have advice on what can be done to thicken it in a couple of days?

I don't want this cycle to fail. Heeeeelp!

ER is now tuesday not monday and I'm on estrogen to thicken lining and will start prog suppositories and injections and baby aspirin after ER. Praying it thickens up!

Did they mention the possibility of baby aspirin or other blood thinners? I know those can help with thin lining. (increases the blood flow to the uterus) Frequently IVF is complimented with one of those. I am on a natural cycle now. Starting estrogen today. Started progesterone last week. Been doing natural supplements that thin the blood like vitamin E, garlic, royal jelly, etc. (since I can't take aspirin due to stomach ulcers). Have been noticing much better blood flow to uterus right away. (due to a 5 yr old fibroid that never had pain before suddenly hurting alot) Google is right, of course. There is enough time that the estrogen could thicken your lining to an acceptable level. Are they going to give you estrogen? I don't know if everyone can be helped by blood thinners. But it seems like it can't hurt and can only help! Between those two things, you ought to be looking good within a few days! Good luck!

I took estrogen 6mg/day to thicken up the lining, then 3-4 days before the transfer I started taking progesterone.  Hopefully it'll thicken up by the time they do the transfer.  Don't forget the er is monday, so the transfer will be either 3dt or 5d after that.  You still have time.  What does your doc say?  obviously they aren't too concerned if they didn't mention anything.  I think the lining should be at least 8mm to work.  It won't work if it's only at 4, but again....you have time to thicken up.

I started progesterone injections the day of my retrieval. Injected up to second beta test and now use a gel. During IUIs, I was using progesterone suppositories to increase lining. Good luck to you!
