Thin Uterine Lining

On our 3rd FET cycle, my scan showed this morning that my follicle was 17mm, and uterus lining 5mm. Bloods unfortunately showed I started ovulating at 3.6 for progesterone. The doctor gave me the option of taking the trigger shot today for FET next week or come for scans tomorrow in the hopes that my uterus lining is 7mm+, and I haven't ovulated yet. The doctor said if i did the FET next week there would be a high chance of it not working, and theres a high chance ovulation will take place before tomorrow. Lose lose situation it seems. Hopefully I have made the right decision. I'm just looking for some support from others who can share similar experience. Or any tips? At the moment I just feel don't understand how we got so unlucky.

Hi! It's so frustrating isn't it, especially when there doesn't seem to be a 'good' option and the luck isn't going your way.I am currently on my 3rd attempt at a FET cycle, but so far endometrium has never got thick enough to proceed with a transfer (despite no obvious issues with it otherwise). Maybe it just isn't the cycle for you this time. There are other medication options for getting the endometrium thicker if needed that your team might be able to advise you on for the next cycle.

Hoping you can be kind to yourself and get through the uncertainty however you need to!

Could you cancel and do a natural modified frozen transfer with mild stims. I did that and my lining went to 12mm when ovulated and between 9-10mm on transfer day.

Please check a post titled “IVF trasfer” 4 days ago. Two people replied saying they used estrogen tablets vaginally to improve lining.
