Had my lining check this morning and it was 8! Given that we've got about a week before they expect to have ER I'm very happy!
Only one thing worries me, they didn't check my E2 level, which it seems most of you had checked w/ your lining check. Oh well, I'll trust their system.
Re: DE GIRLS
Sounds good! I wonder why they didn't check your E2? Are you going to ask? Do you have another appt scheduled? Maybe they'll check it then and didn't think today was necessary.
So, you didn't have any blood drawn? Are you scheduled to go back again before your donor ER where they might do it then?
Lining sounds great! Anything between 8 and 12 is just fine! Mine was 9 the day before my ET!
That's a great lining!!! And I'm sure it'll even get better by ER! Hmm, that is strange that they didn't check your e2 levels. At my first lining check, my lining was already nice and thick but my e2 was a little low. Based on u/s alone, I'm sure they wouldn't have supplemented me with additional estrogen b/c they though with a thick lining, that my e2 *should* be fine. But, I'm always the oddball case, so I'm sure you're fine!!
Good luck!!!
Woohoo! 8 is great
My clinic doesn't obsess over E2 levels either - one reason is that the proof is in the lining; if it looks good the odds are that your blood E2 is fine. Everyone metabolizes the drugs differently, so with a lining of 8 one woman could have a blood E2 of 2000 and one with 200 - just depends. They'll probably draw it at your final check
