I'm just a girl, standing in front of IFVers, asking a dumb question

I am on Lupron, 5 units a day, baby aspirin and a truckload of estrogen waiting for my lining to thicken enough to do the FET.

At the last monitoring appointment on Saturday, my lining was only at like 5.9, so the nurse said we're likely looking at a week from Thursday for the transfer. My doc likes to see 8 or above, she said. E2 at that appt was 341.

Is there any way we can wind up waiting too long to do the transfer? Can something bad happen? I know I can't ovulate on Lupron, but can I have a period or something and mess the whole situation up?

I would put all my details in my sig but IT WON'T FREAKING UPDATE so let me know if there's something that's relevant to answering that question.

    I have thin lining as well. For my first FET, RE extended me out to 5 weeks.  There are studies out there about success after extended estrogen administration.  I don't ovulate on my own so I wasn't on lupron but I think if you are on lupron, yo

    I don't think you should have a period being on the estrogen. I think my RE goes 19-21 days.

    I don't want to freak you out, but did want to share my experience.  I never had lining problems with natural or medicated cycles, including our fresh IVF.  I walked into the FET cycle totally expecting my body to do everything it was suppose

    Well, yikes. My lining actually went down today to 4.something. I'm nervous.

    The nurse said that "sometimes happens" and that they don't know why. She said they would expect my lining to go back up, but now I don't know.

    Ugh ugh ugh.
