Thoughts on 8.1mm lining thickness at FET lining scan

Hi everyone,

I just had my lining scan for my FET. My lining measured at 8.1mm and is tripple layer. The sonographer said this was a good lining, but she also said that they looked for a lining of at least 8mm. I've been given the go ahead to start progesterone from tomorrow and am booked in to have my transfer on Tuesday next week.

This is my first FET and so I'm very new to all this. Is a lining thickness of just over 8mm good as I'm worried it's a bit on the low side? Does anyone know anything or have any experiences they could share relating to lining thickness at the lining scan before your transfer?

Any info would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

The thickness is important however the quality is the most important but and you have both. 8mm is totally fine, I've just had twins and my lining was never a brilliant thickness! Good luck.xx

Is perfectly fine, it will increase in next 5 days while you will be on progesterone but not as much and quick until now. Don't stress much now before the transfer! Good luck 🤞♥️

I don’t know much about the lining but to what I find on google is that from 7 mm is fine please try not to worry. I also want to let you know that if all goes well I will be having my FET on Tuesday too and my lining on Monday was 9mm tripple layer I will start my progesterone on Thursday 3 per day good luck to both of us
