Womb lining thickness affecting outcome of transfer? Success stories needed

[Hhfbkvgf]

Hi All, very confused after my day 13 scan in preparation of my FET, my lining is 8mm which I know is perfectly acceptable for embryo transfer. However I have now (stupidly i know) read all these articles that the rate of success is much much better when over 10mm - has this made a difference to anyone? Is 8mm actually ok, as my clinic seem to always be quite relaxed. Can my lining still thicken up once i start progesterone over the next 5days? Stupidly hormonal and panicked that its not going to work and that I haven’t drunk enough raspberry leaf tea!

I’m in the same situation kind of, I have the transfer next Tuesday and yesterday my lining was 7mm which was the best I had so far....last time was under 6 but by the transfer time went to 9mm so I don’t know what to say but is good to hear what other ladies have to say about xxx

My transfer is Tuesday too! Fingers crossed they thicken up!

Well fingers crossed to us and to all the ladies who have a transfer in the next days xxx

Yes, it will thicken up a little bit! I did a mock cycle last month (ERA test) and at the ultrasound it was 7.5mm and at the day of ERA it was 8.5mm. My clinic also wants it to be 8 and over so I think you’re fine. Good luck!!

Oh good to know this will happen. My clinic are very chilled but i am less so.

Oh amazing - great to hear!! And big congratulations!! 🥳🥳

Mine was 8. 7mm @ day 12 after never being thick enough before. They want it to be over 8mm for transfer xx

I have never got over 8 and I'm now pregnant. Try not to worry about this too much.

Ooh great to hear and congratulations!!

To thicken rub castor oil on your belly in the evenings and put a hot water bottle against tumny for a few minutes at night. Only do this before transfer. Stop completely after transfer. This helped me get to 8. You might get higher than 8. X

I'm on estrogen 3 times a day and not getting scanned until day 16 is that normal? Xx

[Hhfbkvgf in reply to Kirstyloop88]

I was only meant to have my first scan on day 15. My period just started late (hence day 13, they didnt change the appointment). So Im sure day 16 is fine too! What dose are you on? Im taking 8mg split between morning and evening.

I'm on 2mg tablets three times a day. Xx
