**loss mentioned***
After a long two months (early miscarriage and a couple doses of methotrexate), I finally had my baseline US and labs today to start my FET cycle. Labs are good, but my lining is thick for early on in the cycle at 7mm.
Last month it was 12 mm at my baseline US. I've had two periods since my miscarriage (three if you count the two week bleeding when I thought I was miscarrying, but had not yet) and the two have been lighter than normal.
Nurse said lining is supposed to be less than 6mm. They want me to come back in on Monday to repeat labs and US. If my lining doesn't thin by then I may not be able to move forward with FET. Has this happened to anyone? Do you know why I wouldn't be able to move forward with FET?
I'm really frustrated because my nurse didn't explain anything. All she said in her voicemail was labs are good, but because of 7mm lining need to repeat US on Monday before we can move proceed. I left her a voicemail asking for clarification. Hope she calls back soon.

Re: Can lining be too thick to begin FET cycle?
Sorry to read about your loss, but it is good to hear you are ready to try again.
I have not really lots of knowledge about lining, I know here they want me to have a thin lining at start, as not being to 'build up' from last month and that I got rid of all from previous month.
Guess they want lining to be thick, but not too thick either, with a start of 7mm you might grow a 'too thick' lining for FET.
But not to worry too much yet, they know about it, they'll check you again on Monday, and they probably know how to handle lining.
Hope the nurse calls you back with a proper explanation, so you'll stop stressing during the weekend!
GL this month. I'll keep my FX for you.

They did cut my estrogen patches from 4 to 3.

Your lining is too thick to start building a lining for an FET. If your lining is 7mm and up they'll wait for you to bleed again before starting estrogen. I just had an FET in Jan. My lining was at 7mm because of the bcps and without bleeding it magically dropped to 4mm at my recheck. If your lining is still thick at your next u/s they can prescribe progesterone to force a bleed. It might delay your transfer but shouldn't cancel it. GL

@gr8te I'm going to ask about progesterone to force bleed. Thanks for letting me know. My period stopped on Friday, so I doubt my lining thinned more.
