Had my first scan today for FET! Day 12 of 3 progynova a day - lining was only around 5.6 though!! šŸ˜• Nurse didnā€™t seem overly concerned at all though, just upped my progynova to 4 a day and re-scan next Fri!! Should I be concerned?! Any tips - Iā€™m already doing pomegranate juice!!

Thanks ladies - hope youā€™re all doing okay!! xx

Hi there, canā€™t really give any advice, but I start my progynova on 22/1... 1st scan on 1/2.

Iā€™d also welcome any hints and tips! Xx

Sorry no advice for you, but at a similar stage. I had day 11 scan and am only at 5.6mm having done 7daysx3 a day 4 daysx4 a day now it's upped to 6 a day...not experienced this before?! Nurse didn't seem concerned as last time my response was great however she did mutter that a change to long protocol may be the answer if my follow up scan nxt Wed doesn't show any improvements!

Same - my nurse seemed very relaxed about it and said itā€™s not unusual a lot of ladies need their dose increased!! Just seems like yet another hurdle!!

Whenā€™s your next scan?! Iā€™m Friday!! Wishing you very best!! šŸ¤žšŸ»Xx

Here's hoping but I am now overthinking it, hard not to having had a timeframe in mind and now there's a chance it could all be changed! She waned to scan Fri but we are away so Wed am it is, I'll let you know how it goes. Best of luck with yours šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Hey, thatā€™s exactly what I had, try eating beetroot that helps apparently! I was eating pickled and wasnā€™t sure that it would work quite the seem so I drank smoothies with beetroot in too! Good luck x x

Thank you so much for your reply!! If you donā€™t mind me asking how many days were you on progynova before transfer? Just wondering how long they can leave you at this stage?

Thank u - Iā€™ve been drinking pomegranate juice & had a couple of glasses of beetroot juice through the week!! Maybe I should up the beetroot to daily!! šŸ˜• xx

Try raspberry leaf tea? But not after embryo transfer

I just had my first scan, 7mm but they upped me to 6 a day as itā€™s borderline and booked transfer, Iā€™m sure yours will increase ready for your next scan!x

Thank you!! Thatā€™s good theyā€™ve booked you for transfer, is that next week!? Good luck!!

Yes fingers crossed it will have increased enough by Fri!! My clinic said they want it at 7 or above at!! šŸ˜• xx

Next Thursday!

Iā€™ve had two transfers with a lining of 6.5mm, both resulting in bfp so donā€™t worry if itā€™s on the low side, it can still work!!!x

Wishing you the very best of luck for Thursday!!

Thank you - every hurdle is just such a worry isnā€™t it!! šŸ˜•xx

Hi Leo2017, I understand how you feel! I have had problems with thin lining (not solved yet), but I read that many women get upped their estrogen and it works. So no reasons to worry! Very good luck to you, stay optimistic! Apparently it is good to keep moving, e.g. walking (helps blood flow) and massage your lower belly every now and then. ;-)

I would be interested to be updated on how things develop for you :-) All the best! xx

Thank u so much for your reply!! Sorry to hear youā€™re also having problems with your lining, as if the whole ivf process wasnā€™t tough enough!! šŸ˜•

Yes really hoping Iā€™m lucky enough that it does grow to the right level!! šŸ¤žšŸ» I also read that last night about movement....nice long walk planned for later!!

Wishing you the very best of luck!! xx

My progynova was 3 a day for 7 days then upped to 4 until my lining was thick enough. Sounds like yours has just been upped a little later in your cycle.

Thank you for your reply!! I live 3hrs away from the clinic so this was my first scan - so I guess first chance theyā€™ve had to up it!! Do you mind me asking did you see a big increase when they upped it to 4?! šŸ¤žšŸ»Xx

I didnā€™t have a scan prior to it being upped so not sure how much of a difference it made. It seems to be my clinicā€™s standard protocol to up it part way through the cycle as both FET cycles thatā€™s what they have told me to do. Hopefully it makes a difference for you. Whenā€™s your next scan?

Hi, sorry for late reply, I donā€™t come on here much x I was on the progynova for almost three weeks previous to transfer. I know itā€™s hard but try not to panic, and go overboard with the juices etc. I mentioned to my doctor about pineapple after transfer and he said yes Iā€™ve heard about it. If you want to try it fine but donā€™t have it every day, your body doesnā€™t need that much of anything. So obv

My first cycle I did everything by the book, no booze for about 6 weeks, hardly any caffeine, quite strict with food etc. But this cycle fell over Christmas so I definitely wasnā€™t strict with food and I didnā€™t stop drinking (I wasnā€™t drinking a lot obviously!) until around the 27th of dec (transfer 9th of jan), but guess what - I got my bfp officially today. And I swear itā€™s because I was more relaxed. Try to chill and let your body do itā€™s thing, this is what our bodies were made to do - even if we need a bit of sciencey help! Good luck šŸ˜˜

Thank you for you lovely reply!! Huge congrats to you on your bfp - so delighted for you!! šŸ˜Š

Youā€™re so right Iā€™m just going to try and relax the rest of the week & try take my mind off it!! Fingers crossed Iā€™ll have had some good growth by Fri!!

Congrats again!! xx

Leo2017 profile image
Leo2017ā€¢ in reply toStepharni

Pretty similar - although itā€™s the cyclogest that Iā€™m finding worse than the progynova!! šŸ˜³

Best of luck for tomorrow, let me know how you get on!! Likewise Iā€™m already very nervous for Thur!! šŸ¤žšŸ» xx
