Question about Endometrium thickness in Donor IVF (Fresh)/FET cycles

jwoods2011

Hi All.

I hope you are well.

So after 5 years of trying everything from natural, to IVF's (4 of them) My husband and I have moved on with Donor IVF (Fresh donor eggs, and Frozen donor sperm). Both donors are very young. 

so....today I had my 3rd scan, after 11 days of estrogen (oral tablets).

my lining was 7mm, and is beautifully triple lined (see attached photo)

Tomorrow my egg donor has her egg retrieval (as of friday she had 16 follicles all measuring around 17mm or so) and I am to start progesterone tomorrow afternoon. The transfer should happen on saturday - at the blastocyst stage.

Should I expect my lining to get a little thicker before the transfer on saturday???


a little extra info about today:

My scan happened today around 12pm.

I took my first dosage of estrogen (4mg) at 8am. 

the 2nd dosage I took at 4 30pm (4mg)

and the 3rd dosage I took at 8:00pm (4mg)


so with that in mind should I expect a little bit thicker lining at transfer time ? 

If it doesn't get thicker should I expect to have success with a 7mm uterine lining

thanks for your input.

**SAIF warning**

I had 2 IVF (1 of them a freeze all cycle) and 2 FET. I don't normally have lining problem but with my last FET it took a while for my lining to thicken. My transfer was scheduled for 12/10 and had to be rescheduled because my lining is not thick enough. When my lining got to 7mm my RE told me to start the progesterone as well and I'm not positive but I believe we transferred 2 days later. 

I asked him if the lining would get thicker before transfer and he said probably a little bit but he had no problem transferring with 7mm thickness. He didn't measure on the day of the transfer. We transferred one hatching blast on 12/15 which resulted in a BFP.

thank you for your response

We had our transfer today

We transfered 1 expanded blast and 1 hatching blast

my lining ended up being at 8.5
