Which medications thicken the lining?!

[Hope752]

Evening.

I’m currently on stims of my second fresh cycle and this time I am taking menopur. I have lubion and utrogestan to take for progesterone after egg retrieval but during my frozen embryo transfer I also took progynova to thicken the lining. I’m just wondering why I have not been prescribed anything during the fresh cycle?

I hope that makes sense. This ivf is a mind ‘messer upper’ (I didn’t want to swear 😂)

Because of the mega doses of follicle stimulation your uterus will be growing a lining in prep for a fertilised egg. It will have mega mega amounts so no extra needed. Then with a FET , the estrogen from the tablets helps boost the lining growth etc before the frozen egg transfer because it’s creating an ideal situation to match the lab created embryo 🤯🤣😂 I don’t even know if that makes sense? I asked my dr why I didn’t need something more for my FET because my first FET didn’t work ,

Only my fresh transfer after collection worked ..... he said that I would have had mega mega amounts of hormones / not normal amounts. ( in my head I was like.... clearly if I need ing my body isn’t normal and maybe I need the mega mega amounts) He said the estrogen and then gels would be enough 🤷🏼‍♀️ hopefully some of this ramble helps ya 😆😘💐

My lining was thin on baseline scan and I have done fertility yoga which may helped me to get thicker lining on my next scan, maybe you can try that butterfly pose and flap the (wings) your legs for 30sec-1sec.

Check YouTube - maybe the light yoga exercise can help you with fertility.

Good luck ❤️

Hi Hope, The comment above does not mention what your lining was for your previous transfer but it might be good to establish if the lining was in the "range" (based on my research and consultants' feedback this is ) 8-12 at time of transfer date. It does not need to be in this range before the transfer so you have plenty of time to monitor the lining thickness across all your monitoring scans, and change meds as needed in the run up. You can ask your clinic before your scans "what is the lining range that you consider to be in an 'acceptable' for transfer at a transfer date?",....and then based on that, you can then discuss if your meds needs changing. I say beforehand so that they do give you the average range and do not alter their response based on your data. After that, you have the information needed to 'own your own treatment' and ask what you need along the way 👍

Re. meds - it sounds like you are on appropriate drugs for fresh transfer but there are many ways to get the outcome. Sometimes it is lubion morning and cyclogest/alternative evening, sometimes it is cyclogest/alternative pessary morning AND evening plus lubion/alternative injection. If you don't see the growth in lining, ask to consider a swap over to cyclogest pessaries 800 per day (2x400) plus your daily lubion injection.

Best of luck!!!
