Transfer 6- I must be insane

Yes so we’re going through round 6 with DE. I’m wondering what the hell I’m doing at the moment. Just had a monitoring scan and my lining is at 9.3 which is the thickest it’s ever been, but for the first time ever it’s not triple layered. The first time in 6 transfers and goodness knows how many mock cycles, cancelled cycles etc.

Experience please? Can it get triple layered in a few more days? Have you had transfers with single layers and been successful? Why is there always something to ruin a cycle and set your mental health on edge? I feel if I take much more of this IVF rubbish my mental health may very well fall off a cliff 😳.

Feeling very disappointed and exasperated.

Thanks tribe for your help

Xx

good luck lovely 🥰 we don’t get ‘layers’ measured at our clinic (first I’ve heard of this) just ‘thickness’ above 7mm required so can’t help on that front but wanted to wish you luck xx

Oh really??! That’s so interesting. I’m surprised by this. I thought looking for a triple layer was standard procedure 🤷‍♀️. Thank you for the luck. I’m going to need it!! Xx

6 IUI and 8, almost 9 transfers in and never once been mentioned to me at lining checks 🤔 maybe just my clinic though xx

Hi hifer. Well the thickness is fine by me! Keep up with all prescribed medication, and eating pineapples core. Good luck. Diane

hey hifer, just wanted to say lots of luck for this transfer! For the two transfers that I had, both were trilaminar and the second one wasn’t a few days previously so I’d assume there is still time for it to get there. Both of mine failed after being told it was thick etc so, I’m not sure if it’s the most important thing. I know how easy it is to get anxious particularly in a cycle, so please try not to worry and just focus on your beautiful embryo embedding itself in a few days time. Good luck!! Xxx

Thanks for letting me know. I've always had a problem with my lining being too thin. The last 3 transfers it's been good but the embryos still haven't implanted. It's just something I've not had to worry about before and all of a sudden there is a new thing in the mix!! I'm going back on Tues to see if we can proceed. xx

It’s so frustrating, I really feel for you but try and be positive for next scan, eat good food, plenty of water and a little exercise to grow that lining! I’ve my lining scan check next Tuesday and hoping it’s thick and triple layered as my clinic require this too, this is my 5th DE transfer too 🙏🏻 sometimes Sonographers miss things too so try not to worry x

I have never been told if mine is triple layered but it sounds like that is a good thickness. I’m heading into transfer 5 with DE soon so wishing you lots of luck and baby dust with this round. Xx

Thanks so much hun. Seems knowing if your lining is triple layered or not is less common than I thought. Wishing you all the luck too xx

Good luck, I’ve just started the process for our FET. Transfer 4, embryo number 6. This is my second DE transfer and I thought the same when I left my day 2 cycle scan…. I must be mental but here I am sorting days off working and looking at dates for medication going insane already.

Your lining is good! We just know way too much of what’s going on in out bodies and find faults at everything.

You’ll be ok - good luck for transfer

Thanks hun. Good luck to you too! I can’t work out why I’m putting myself through so much stress 😆. Yes agreed, we just find fault in everything. Not one of my non IVF friends would know anything about endometrium lining! Really hope it works out for you xx

Transfer number 6 was our lucky one so absolutely hoping the same for you! Good luck.x

Hey 👋🏼 and wishing you all the good luck for your transfer. 🥰 Will have everything crossed for you! Our clinic doesn’t do layers either but has on occasion mentioned a triple layer. They just measure.

I’m 40 and we’ve been trying for a sibling since last year for our wee miracle boy who was born in 2021. I remember we were going through similar things before 2021 and remember reading your posts.

These past 8 months have been long with many downs with failure and a chemical but it appears it could be 3rd time lucky and we got a pregnant 2-3 today. I feel so so lucky and am sending all my positive vibes your way for this transfer 🤞xxx

Oh my gosh you’re kidding???! That’s just amazing news. Many many congrats. Keeping everything crossed for a smooth pregnancy for you. I’ve had 2 failed transfers since our success and at my last scan I just said to my husband that I won’t be doing another transfer. I just can’t stand the stress. But then again, I just keep saying that so who knows??! Hopefully I won’t have to think about that! Thanks so much for sharing and thanks for the positive vibes xx

Mine sometimes got thicker before it got trippled layered (this happened on my only successful cycle). Other times it got tripple layered and then it got thicker and then very thin. The cycle it was successful i broke my foot (it was an acciden i got involved just 1 day after the transfer) and got covid while i got to get treatment (positive 4 days after transfer). I thought i was out (accident plus covid, supossed meant low chances of implantation)... and it was my unly success in 5 years. So try to calm, I know it is difficult (and i hated it when I was told that), but stresa does ruin stuff. I was so worried over having covid, and I had to rest so much because of that and my foot, that apparently that helped me (other months I followed instructions and was active as normal).
