Lining question

My lining just isn't playing ball this cycle, not thickening up enough despite increased doses of Progynova. Any tips for thickening the lining naturally?

I’m convinced that acupuncture helped me with the lining and it got to 12.5mm which is very good. But you would have to find someone really good. Best wishes xx

Mine is a measly 7mm after 2 weeks on Progynova. Not sure acupuncture is an option for me, I can't really afford it and I'm not sure I have time to get it booked in before my planned FET next week.

Yes, you need to start a few weeks earlier with the acupuncture. I’m thinking that maybe a yoga pose with legs against the wall would help as it improves the blood flow in the pelvic area.

Have you tried taking vitamin E? I use the strong ones from superdrug. You could try fertility yoga, lying on the floor with your legs up the wall. Pomegranate & beetroot juice supposed to help (beetroot juice is an acquired taste). Warm baths, hot water bottles, keeping your feet warm. Just a few things there you could have a go at. I have a frustratingly stubborn lining too. Good luck?xx

Great tips for me to try, thank you! I haven't had lining issues before during my fresh cycle so it's an unexpected problem (nothing seems to be going right for this frozen cycle 😞) x

L arginine and beetroot juice. Seemed to work for me but just as easily could have been chance/other factors. Good luck x
