Day 10 of stims, need to increase lining, caster oil / L'Arginine?

[kathgibson22]

Hi everyone, so had my day 9 scan yesterday. Not amazing but as expected with my low amh ( have two big follicles at 12+/ five at 10+ which will hopefully catch up!) But as normal my lining is thin ( about 6 ) so I'm currently on... 1 avocado a day, lots of whole milk, ridiculous amount of fruit and veg, spriulina for protein ( I'm a vegetarian), Brazil nuts, raspberry leaf tea , pomegranate juice, kefir , ubiquinol q10 (200mg) folic acid, DHA, vit e &d.

I've been reading about caster oil packs and L'Arginine? How do I do oil packs and how often? Also how much L'Arginine to take but prob bit late now

Thanks lovelies xxx

Hey lovely.

With castor oil packs, you need;

Pure castor oil

Flannel

Tea towel

Hot water bottle

You soak the flannel in the oil - but not so it’s dripping and then lay it straight on your lower abdomen with a tea towel on top followed by the hot water bottle.

Make sure the heat from the bottle is heating up the flannel (so don’t use a thick tea towel) as you need the skin to absorb the oil. I sometimes would put the bottle straight on the flannel once it’s cooled down a bit. Lay there and relax for 40 mins and afterwards rub the remaining oil on your abdomen in ☺️ I did them every night until transfer day.

It’s sooo relaxing! But it’s also very messy so make sure you have some old pjs or something to wear. I used bicarbonate of soda to clean it off as castor is so thick 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good luck ☺️xxx

I meant to say you can use the flannel up to 30 times so pop in a bag & leave in fridge in between xx

Hi Kath, I had L-arginine before my FET last Friday and took 750 mg. I did not increase my dosage as it gave me skin rashes. According to It starts with the egg, you can take 6 g daily. Good luck with your cycle!

Heya, have you talked to your doctor about it? I had my 3rd scan last week with a lining at 6 as well and they said it was normal!

Try not to stress too much, if there was something else to do, surely they would have told you.

Sending you loads of luck!! Xx

Did they say if you had a good structure (triple line)? My clinic are happy to transfer on 6 if it is a good structure, but I understand your concern... you still have a few days to catch up so keep the faith xx
