U/s trigger and a thin lining. Advice?

I had an u/s this am on CD 11 and got my trigger shot. I had one follie measuring 18 mm and two small immature follies. Everything looks good except my lining thinned because I was taking 25mg of clomid. My lining was just under 6mm and the RE wants to see 7mm+. I am praying that it thickens a little more before the progesterone kicks in and that what is there is enough. Does anyone have any advice or know of someone who has gotten PG with a thin lining? I know I should be excited to go home and get BDing with DH but I feel like I'm just setting myself up for dissapointment. Thanks for listening.

    Sorry to hear about the thin lining, Clomid has a tendency to do that.

    Is this your first cycle on Clomid? I only ask because if Clomid continues to thin your lining on upcoming cycles, you could possibly bring up Femara to your RE. Femara does not thin your lining like Clomid can.

    The trigger should help thicken your lining a bit, but you could also ask your RE about Estrace during your 2ww. I have been on Estrace for 3 out of my 4 IUIs so far.

    As far as someone who has got PG with a thin lining, my nurse who did my u/s this morning told me about a girl who just got PG with twins and her lining at IUI was a 6.

    Good luck!

    Thank you! This was my second cycle on clomid. The first got canceled because I had 4 mature follies with 50mg. My RE plans to switch me to Femara next cycle if this one doesn't work.

    If you have another Clomid cycle, you can take estrogen before O to thicken your lining - I had very good luck with my lining when I took estrogen around CD9-11.

    I deal with this too from the Clomid. My lining is always around 6-6.5mm at trigger. My RE says over 7 is ideal, but that if you are in the 6's, they do not prescribe any Estrace. Kind of annoying. If this cycle doesnt work, I wont be using Clomid anymore because of it.
