CD 10 Monitoring

in Infertility

Hey ladies - So I'm on CD10 of my natural frozen embryo transfer. I posted this in the fireflies check-in, but it was five pages deep so I thought I would get your feedback here. Yesterday was an early monitoring, because I haven't ovulated or even had an LH surge on a digital OPK. Here were my stats: 

Lining: 4.6

Follicles: 2 follicles naturally grown, each around 10mm, one will likely take the lead soon 

E2: 65

LH: Elevated (which is okay, right? since I"m getting closer to ovulating?) 

Can someone give me some feedback on how I'm doing? I'm really worried because the lining sounds so thin...will it really build up enough in the next 8-10 days?

    I haven't done a natural cycle before but I wanted to wish you good luck!!! I usually start amedicated cycle around 4 something.  I think 8-10 days is enough time for the lining to thicken up and become triple layer.   When do you go back for your next monitored appt?

    I also wanted to add that I saw my naturopath who is really great with fertility, and I saw her right after my monitoring. She gave me a few new supplements and I wanted to share: Shatavari root powder (I take a shot of it dissolved in warm water, 1 tsp to a shot of warm water 1x/each day) and also another natural supplement. She said this should really help with lining. She also has me starting up at the acupuncturist next week. Fingers crossed it helps!

    Thank you so much, Jackie - I'm headed back for more monitoring on Sunday morning...so another four days. I'll update then for sure. Hopefully the stuff my naturopath gave me will help, because it sure tastes awful. :)

    I done lots of reading last night about lining!
    I read that it should grow 1 to 2 mm every other day.
    I hope the stuff you were given helps. I did respond on the fireflies check in and ask if you would consider taking e2v if you needed it to help.
    Let us know how it goes on Sunday!


    What is e2v? Thanks, Geordie!

    As you get closer to ovulating and your e2 rises, your lining will thicken up quickly.  I think your lining looks fine for follies that are so small still.  Your e2 also looks fine for that size follicle.  When you say your LH is elevated, how elevated are you talking?

    What does your clinic say?  That's what I would be using a basis for how well you're doing. Are you generally a late ovulator?
