Uterine lining question

TTCBabyJTTCBabyJ member
in Trouble TTC
So I just had my cd12 u/s to check my follicles for IUI next week. So thankfully my left ovary is completely taking over. Go lefty! I had 2 follicles over 10mm and 1 lead follicle that was about 15mm. According to RE I will probably ovulate around cd 16. But she said my lining was only 5mm. But she wasn't too concerned since it still has time to thicken. What is the ideal thickness of a uterine lining for IUI? Does anyone know how much the lining thickens each day? I'm going to try some red raspberry leaf tea. Also, does anyone know if there is a connection between estrogen and uterine lining thickness? I have been using CB digital opk and I haven't gotten the estrogen surge yet, the high fertility.

    Congrats on your left ovary doing its thing!!

    Mine thickened 1mm per day between ultrasounds, but only after they put me on Estrace/Estradiol to thicken it. I've read 8mm is the minimum for good chances, and 9-10mm is better. I was able to take the Estradiol orally and it really have noticeable effects, so I was happy with it.

    I have also heard that eating pumpkin seeds/ sunflower seeds can help with lining. Mine has never gotten above 8, and it's usually 7.

    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

    In the past on clomid mine was only around 6-7. Now with femara and acupuncture last cycle I had 8.5 trilaminar lining at CD 13 and ovulated on cd18. It still was a bfn but I hear 8+ is best. Good luck!
    TTC #2 since 2011 (took 1.5 years to conceive spontaneously after multiple failed clomid cycles and 1 failed clomid +IUI)
    Me- PCOS, borderline hypothyroid
    Him- low concentration/count

    Feb 2014- started acupuncture
    Feb 2014- BFP
    March 2014- m/c @ 5 weeks
    May 2014- HSG, all clear, started Synthroid, Femara 5mg CD 3-7 + trigger + TI= BFN
    Waiting for new RE appointment end of July 2014

    My RE looks for above 8 and it's my understanding it can increase 1-2 mm a day. At my C11 ultrasound mine was at 6.5 and I was a little freaked out, but the next day CD12 it was 8.85 and CD13 it was 10.45 when I had my IUI. I did have acupuncture during this cycle once a week and I had it the day before my lining grew from 6.5-8.85 (maybe the acupuncture, maybe not?).

    I'm sure you will be fine by the time you have your IUI. Good luck!

    3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

    3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched
