I posted this in r/IVF as well so if this looks familiar, it’s bc it is! lol. Just wanted to see if there is anyone else over here that can maybe give me a positivity boost before tomorrow’s appointment.

Has anyone here had success with a thin lining??

I’ve had 5 medicated (letrozole) IUIs in the past. Each time, my lining has hit the 7mm minimum that my clinic uses by CD13 which resulted in me triggering on CD14.

Clearly those didn’t work and I am now doing IVF.

For background - I am 32 years old. No known fertility issues. I’m in a same sex marriage using donor sperm. We are doing a modified-natural FET protocol. After my egg retrieval, I was put on birth control on CD3 while we waited for PGTA results. I was only on BC for 6 days. We waited for my withdrawal bleed which came 6 days later. I then took letrozole CD3-CD7 and plan on triggering when told then I will start progesterone suppositories.

Today is CD13 & my lining was only 5.5. What the heck?? My dominant follicle is 22mm so I feel like ovulation is very near. 3 days ago at my CD10 check, my lining was 4.5 and follicle was 18mm. I’m so frustrated that my lining is growing so slow. I’m also worried that they’re going to cancel this cycle because my lining is so freaking thin.

My clinic has said in the past that they look for a 7mm trilaminar lining, but they like it closer to 8mm.

The ultrasound tech said my lining is beautifully trilaminar, just thin.

Is there any hope that my lining magically grows to 7mm between today and tomorrow? Or am I probably out this cycle??

To add - I’ve been drinking pomegranate juice and taking my daily supplements (prenatal, choline, ubiquinol coq10, and vitamin d3). Also been regularly exercising to increase blood flow.

(Editing to add that today my dominant follicle was 22mm, so I know ovulation is near)
