hello,

I'm 41 and ttc child #3 for way over a year. had one miscarriage early this year at 10 weeks. Other children 5 and 4.
Been to the GP, had a scan. Nothing abnormal on ovaries but says that my uterus was very thin for day 21 of cycle.

waiting now for further referral...

on reading up on uterus linings it says that if its too thin that an egg has no change of implanting....

anyone else had this? know anything I can do to help...

thanks

Hi! Why the subtle name change Mummy? I thought for one second that we had two mummies, but the costa rican coincidence was one too far! I dont know anything at all about how the fertility services work here, never mind abroad: but, is there a reputable health care system for soldiers? or teachers? or health professionals? As far as I can remember, my mil is Iranian, and when she brought up her kids back in Iran, they used to go to the army doctors as they were the best and the cheapest. The ones in the private sector were cheaper, but also offered rubbish medicines and had less qualifications. It's just a stab in teh dark literally. Forgive me, if I'm totally off track here Smile x

Hi,

an ERPC is a D&C, just another way of saying it (evacuation for retained products of conception - horrid phrase!)

Thats really good if you got your cycles back, maybe your gyne will try hormonal supplements to increase the thickness.

I am ovulating and getting period pain but not bleeding which is what made me go and get checked. I need to get another opinion about what to do though, I have no confidence in this gyne whatsoever, she really seemed to be floundering. I am paying private out here in Costa Rica where I live, but I have had seen four different gyne's now and there is not one that I would want to go back to.

I've just ordered some AC and bromelain too, and went out and bought a pineapple.Smile

Please let me know how you get on, I would be really interested.

xxxxxxxxxx

they haven't told me yet, the scan people wrote it to my GP (they didn't tell me when I had the scan), and the GP is referring me to a gynecologist so now awaiting that appointment...hopefully for not too long

whats an ERPC? I had a D&C in Jan after a mis-miscarriage - have had normal but light periods since, but I've always had light periods. I don't feel right though, feel hyper hormonal, and feel tight across my tummy.

I've bought some bromelain and vitex agnus castus - not sure if they will do any good but they were mentioned on a search I did.

it is scary isn't it, its not a problem I had even heard of before... as if there aren't enough things to worry about

fingers crossed for you

thanks fedup

Well I have just had a thin lining confirmed too. Only 3mm. Owch.

My doc is recommending going on the pill for a month ( Sad ) to see if that helps as it could be a poor hormonal response failing to make the lining grow. If that doesnt work she is recommending I do an HSG because it could also be related to the ERPC I had 14 weeks ago (no period since) The word ashermans was used and I am very scared.

I am planning to take Red Clover Blossom as well as the pill as this is a vitamin that contains isoflavonoid phytoestrogens (I understand this to be like "plant estrogen" so I am praying hoping that will help.

Do you mind me asking how thin your lining is and if you had an ERPC?
