Question about monitoring

Hey all! Sorry I have been MIA lately...we've had a lot going on and I was needing some time away.

We are getting ready for IUI 5 and I am currently using clomid but no other monitoring.

I have heard that an issue I could be experiencing is a thin lining. Is this something that can be tested? Does anyone have their lining checked? If so would you mind sharing what that entails?


Thanks all!

Re: Question about monitoring

  • My lining was checked via US and then I was put on progesterone

  • In my appointments my lining was checked not only for thickness but for the layers. I believe they look for and like to see a trilayer. I was told that multiple uses of clomid could reduce the lining. For instance I had no lining issues the first time, and it never got "bad", but seemed effected and ultimately made the decision to switch to femera because I had been told it doesn't effect certain women's lining as much and that's the month that I happened to get pregnant. We'll never know if it was the change in drugs, but I've certainly had friends in fertility tell me that they see it all the time with a switch from clomid and the lining issues.

  • Thanks everyone! So if your lining is thin do they put you on a medication?
