Uterine lining too thick to start stims

hi all

I have just got back from my appointment to see if the Prostap (instead of Buserelin) has switched me ‘off’ in readiness to start menopur and bemfola.

I am so bitterly disappointed that my uterine lining was still too thick, they want to put it back a week and for me to return next Wednesday to have the same appointment again!

how will it be any thinner come next week? My period did only end yesterday as it was delayed a week due to Protsap but I’m just so deflated, I had booked all the appointments off with work and now I have to redo it all, without explaining what it’s all for……

Have any of you had this before and had it thinned out in a week???

I’m not taking daily injections so can only assume the prostap will continue to work in my system for the next week………

any advice or reassurance would be gratefully received.

What a very tough journey we are all on xx

Hi, my lining was also to thick on my Friday appointment. When I went the following Monday it had thinned enough to allow me to go ahead!

Im now 4 and half weeks

However I was and stayed on the buserilin dunno if this was relevant to it? but they also stated and hoped that it would thin further as I recently came off my period too

What was your lining ?

Thank you SO MUCH for your reply, it means so much.

I wonder with the Prostap being more ‘slow release’ and with my monthly only ending yesterday that it’s just a timing issue- I really hope so and that next week it is as thin as they want it to be!

I think I overheard her say it was 8.4mm - do you remember what yours was?

I’m so pleased to hear you had success too! Congratulations! X

Thank you!

Yeah so I think my period was around 5 days before my scan? And I was about 6 mm and it went just below 5 mm 3 days later and at my clinic they look for it to be 5 and under.

So if your period only ended yesterday don’t give up hope 🤞🏽 X

I had an issue first tune around. My lining actually kept thinning even although I didn't bleed much....apparently it can be reabsorbed and I was OK to go after the next scan. Good luck.xx
