Thin lining- never experienced this

Hi all, hope you are all? Can I ask a question about transfer dates? Due to my history with pregnancy losses I am starting to get anxious. I am due to have my 3rd FET next Thursday (day 22) and it has been pushed back to Tuesday 10th Nov (day 26). This is due to my uterine lining hasn’t increased from Monday. It is only 6.1 and they want to increase my eastrogen tablets from 3 -4 a day.i am worried as I had the ERA/EMMA/Alice test and it was confirmed that my uterine lining is more receptive day 21/22. However, I am questioning.... is day 26 too late? I have great faith with my dr but reading alot of information... I think my uterine lining maybe less receptive on day 26. Anyone had experience with a transfer around day 26? Thankyou so much ❤️❤️❤️

Hey lovely,

I just checked back and mine have always been around day 22 also. They have been natural transfers but I’m not sure if that makes a difference or not?

Have you tried any natural remedies to increase your lining? Happy to give tips ☺️xx

Thanks so much. I was taking vit e, drinking Pom and beetroot smoothies... but never had this problem so I am

Panicking as quite concerned it’s not increase during the medicated cycle xxx

I did have this problem which is why I switched to natural but there is still time for it to thicken up!

Drink raspberry leaf tea, 2-3 cups a day and it should help! You can get on Amazon or in Holland and Barrett xx

Awwww Thankyou so much. Do you have to stop at some point as I read it can cause contractions to the uterine wall. I am just gutted... I’d thought I’d be transferring earlier x

I’d stop it about 2 days before so you could do until Monday week maybe? Will you be having another scan before your transfer? Xx

Ok so if you can start the tea tomorrow then do and hopefully you’ll see a difference Tuesday and can have your transfer earlier ☺️xx

When it comes to the ERA it doesnt matter how many days you are on estrogen. The important part is the progesterone so dont worry. So long as they follow that part of the protocol then that is the main thing!xx

Awwww wow that’s so reassuring. I didn’t think of that. I felt deflated that my lining hadn’t increased. I am ever so grateful for the staff at my clinic. I just had very little knowledge or experience with this xxx

I've had lots of lining issues and my ERA proved to be the key! The adjustment of the estrogen should help plump your lining up nicely. You could also try drinking raspberry leaf tea, having warm baths, hot water bottle on your tummy and having warm feet. Good luck.xx

That’s fab... I did this the last time but felt I had no issues. I am going to have to get this leaf tea. How many cups of tea? I really appreciate your advice as I was really upset that it didn’t sound positive. The staff weren’t too worried but I was concerned about the thin lining xxxx

I'm sure the staff see it all the time! We all repaind to meds differently and some of us need more meds than others. I used the Heather & Heath Rapaberry leaf tea. Try to drink 3 cups a day!xx

It depends how long you are on estrogen before they start progesterone. When did you start?xx

Angels2us in reply to Cinderella5

Cinderella5 in reply to Angels2us

My clinic dont usually like me on estrogen for any longer than max 18 days before starting progesterone so you should be ok.xx

Angels2us in reply to Cinderella5

Ok thanks so much, I just keep overthinking everything, last two goes I have had 5 days of progesterone before transfer, xx

Cinderella5 in reply to Angels2us

That's the usual protocol for progesterone. Good luck.xx
