Lining scan post taking estrdoil for 7 days....

And it is at 6mm!! It's not thick enough to be given a date for transfer. So I am now on 8mg of estradoil instead of 6mg and have been asked to come again on Tuesday for a scan. Does anyone know how much it can grow per day? I have been getting conflicting answers from Google lol.

It has gone from 2.9 to 6 in the last 7 days. Happy Friday xxx

Thanks for your reply hun, I am hoping mine increase more by Tuesday. The nurse said they don't want to keep it too late because the lining starts to distort ( first time I heard this!) X

I’m sure I read it grows about 1-2mm per day.

For me it was slow, I think after a week it got to 5.3 then another week it got to 6.7, my clinic actually transferred a week later so not sure what my lining was but I guess around 7ish.

High protein diet is meant to help increase the lining so try increasing your protein intake between now and Tuesday too 🙂

Good luck 🤞 xxx

Hey hun, thanks for your reply! I was doing the calculations on how much mine has grown in a week and it's defo not 1mm a day! Intact it's about 0.3mm a day lol (or I am just crap at maths lol). Got a hot water bottle on my stomach. I have been having weekly accupunture sessions for about 2 months so hope that has helped. Unfortunately I can't have one next week before my scan again.

It worked out ok for you, so I hope I have the same luck!! I didn't expect fet to take so long!

Also I have been having alot of discharge (tmi sorry!) Is this normal?!?! Xs

I think it’s the estrogen that increases cervical mucus. Everything is such a worry during this process 😬 lol

Xxx

My clinic uses progyvna tablets and doesn’t scan till you’ve been taking them for 11/12 days. Hang on in there!

Yup I have to start those on Sunday.

Dear NDE1987, sorry to hear about the problem (what day of the cycle was it, though? Usually the scan is done between day 10 and 12). If the situation improves, can you please let me know and what you did differently, if anything? I have been having lining issues, I am trying to understand what could help the situation. I hope things work our for you soon, it can be frustrating. Patience helps! Good luck! xx

Hey hun! My lining did improve and got thicker :) I drank pomegranate juice and put a hot water bottle on my stomach for one hour every evening. Also had an increase in my estradoil tablets. Where are you in your cycle xx

Forgot to add I have been excerising to. Just walking on the treadmill and using the cross trainer. X

Great!! Very happy for you, fingers crossed then.

My story is too long... basically after estradiol not working and actually making the lining worse, I am now off hormones, trying to get back to a normal cycle naturally (my lining was 7.3mm before the hormonal therapy). Thing is, period not coming (yet? forever?)... now day 36, no sign it will come soon. I think that if it comes naturally, I might be on the road to recovery. :-) Best wishes! xx
