Trouble TTC

Thin lining.... Estradiol?

So... went for bw and ultrasound today since i finished my clomid last night.  Got the results call this afternoon and found out my lining isn't thick enough and the RE is concerned.  Only 5mm.  Starting estradiol 2mg tonight.. anyone familiar with that?  Going back Monday for labs/ultrasound again to see if it is better to know when to start the ovidrel and then schedule the IUI.  Still hopeful. Happy Friday all.

    This is hilarious! I'm familiar too. The only problem I have is that they are so tiny I fear loosing them.

  • To answer your question, I didn't remember any specific side effect (I took them on two of my three clomid/IUI cycles which admittedly were more than a year ago).  Only "side effect" was the blue CM, so I do suggest a panty liner.  My husband always laughed because I called them the Smurf Cootch pills and woould sing the theme song while shoving them up "Laaaa-la, la lalala,Laa la la la laaaaaaa!" And then say "It's smurf-tastic!"  If you can't laugh at the ridiculous things we have to do for IF then we'd just cry.  Hope I've given you a giggle and good luck with getting a nice fluffy lining from them.

  • LOL - thank you @katib77 ... I was laughing this morning because I totally understood your smurf crotch reference after my morning tinkle.  :)  I read though that they are used mostly for menopausal women and that it is not for women trying to get preggo... I am assuming my RE knows this.... still makes me a little uneasy but they are the expert. right?
