FET Lining Check - what's the magic #?

Happy Monday everyone :) I am in the middle of my first FET cycle and go in for my ultrasound for endometrial check tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be CD 10 (started the Vivelle patches on CD 1), and we are set for a CD 20 FET (which would be next Friday, May 9). Since this is my first FET I thought I’d ask if anyone knew where I should be at this point in the process? What thickness are they looking for?

Thank you!

    At that exact day I cannot tell you. I really don't know what the average is but just remember that most clinics aim for a minimum of 8mm (my clinic wants a minimum of 9mm) thick lining before scheduling a exact transfer date. Just keep that in mind!

    I know the number varies by clinic. My clinic requires at least 8mm before they will transfer but I know some people have mentioned that their clinic is looking for at least 7mm and others up to 9mm or 10mm. My clinic does a check a week prior to transfer and if your numbers look good at that point then they don't check again before the transfer. Sorry I can't really help w/ where you should be at CD10. GL tomorrow!
