IVF - first scan since starting injections

[pinkfairy23s]

Hi there, just looking for a bit of advice here... I went for my first scan today since starting my injections - to see how my follicles and lining were doing! How think have people’s lining been on their first scan? Thank you

I really don't remember them mentioning anything about lining that early, sorry - certainly for me they were only interested in checking lining was thin before they started (which it needs to be then) and then after starting injections they were only interested in the number of follicles for most of the cycle and then got interested in lining again towards the end.

Thank you, mine was 4.9mm at first scan and they said it should be thicker than that! I’ve had a lot of trouble with my lining on my first cycle! X

Your lining grows alongside you follicles so the more developed they get the more your lining increases. That said lining measurements can vary greatly from person to person so try not to worry!xx

Thank you, it took a lot of work to get my lining right on my first cycle - hoping it might be different this time round! X

Hi pinkfairy. This varies so much between patients. However, I'm sure if there was a problem found, your medication would be changed. Hope all continues to go well for you. Diane
