IVF thin lining guidance & reasurance

Hi,

I'm on my first IVF cycle and currently preparing for FET with my clinic. I am currently on 3x per day proganova oestrogen oral tablets and had my first 12-day scan which can with bad news my lining has only reached 4.9mm.

They have instructed me to introduce 2 additional proganova tablets vaginally until Friday (5 days) to hopefully increase the lining. However, naturally, I have a thin lining and on stims, it only reached 6.6/7mm

Has anyone else been experiencing the same and what was your outcome? I'm looking for some reassurance as I'm currently in meltdown mode about it and feel very deflated as we've waited so long to get to this point. I would hate the cycle to be cancelled because of a thin lining. But I still have hope it could increase.

Has anyone had a similar journey and did you see an increase from day 12 - day 17 after adding in more vaginal oestrogen?

A little bit of background, I have PCOS, however very mild. I'm also doing acupuncture, a very healthy diet, beetroot juice, pomegranates, pineapple etc

Any reassurance, guidance would be much appreciated as I feel very deflated with the news today.

I'm very sorry for what you are going through.
Have you also been subscribed progesterone (e.g. utrogestan)? My partner is using it and her uterus structure seems improved. Also helps with implantation.

Thank you so much for coming back to me. They won't introduce the progesterone pessaries I have until my lining is a sufficient thickness which is frustrating. I'm hoping the additional oestrogens will now help as my body seems to hate tablets.

Hey! I can’t help I’m afraid - but just wanted to say you might have more answers by posting this on the infertility chat - it’s more about IVF whereas this is more on pregnancy 😊
