Trouble TTC

Clomid & lining ?

I was lurking on another board, and saw that someone mentioned concern for a thin lining while on Clomid.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is the reason for my CP last cycle.  Not that I'm blaming, but I guess just having a reason would be nice.  Anyway, I'm going to push my RE for mid-cycle monitoring (which he doesn't do).  When should he be looking at the uterine lining?  If it looks thin, what do they do?  What about too thick?

On a side note, I haven't been super active on the boards lately.  Been studying for a BIG test to move on to grad school.  Well, I passed!  So you lovely ladies will be seeing more of me, at least until I move on to my next BIG test.  Hope all's well...

Re: Clomid &amp;amp; lining ?

  • My RE did a u/s when I got a + OPK - so right as I was surging.  I drank POM juice everyday from AF to O.  I am not sure if it really helped my lining, but my lining was good (my RE even commented on it and was happy). 

    Some RE's do a u/s at a specific cycle day.  I am surprised that your RE deosn't do any monitoring.  I would definately ask.  Good luck.

    Ya know, I asked my RE about this at my last appointment...and he looked at me like I was crazy... that wont keep me from drinking it though! I like the taste- and I know it wont hurt.

    I know when I told my RE (we were on the phone) she really didn't say much, but I could tell she thought it was wierd.  I figure it's juice and it can't "hurt" anything so I was going with better safe than sorry.

  • Yeah, I drank it my first Clomid cycle.  Then I got overly paranoid about a too thick lining and ditched it for cycle 2.  Of course, now I'm kicking myself wondering what, if anything, I could have done to have a better outcome.

    Thanks ladies.  I think I'll take the Pom again.

  • I had a U/S cd 12 and my lining was 6. My RE prescribed estrace (inserted vaginally) and at cd 15 u/s my lining had increased to 11. If you're concerned I would ask about that.
