Thin lining; still triggered. Some questions :)

lupineaura · June 2014

Hi ladies,

I had my one millionth monitoring ultrasound this morning. I "stair stepped" from 100 to 150mg of Clomid after not responding to the first round of meds. Good news- I had one really good follie (almost 20mm)! Also a couple little guys. Unfortunately, my lining was thin- 4.6. After reviewing my bloodwork, they called and told me to trigger. First time ever giving myself a shot!

As always, I have questions...

1) How "too thin" does this sound? The nurse said they like to see it at about a 6. She said I still have a chance (otherwise they wouldn't have told me to trigger), but I'm wondering how good/poor my chances really are. I'm going to try not to get my hopes up regardless.

2) I was told to have intercourse tomorrow and Wednesday night. They said not tonight, although to me this is counter-intuitive since I know a lot of people get pregnant by having sex a day or so before ovulation...but OK. So...when should I test? I go in for a beta on the 24th but there is no way I'll make it that long. Maybe the 20th?

Thanks again ladies!

Good luck! Sounds like we are having very similar cycles! I may be joining you tomorrow on the trigger, although I will try to wait another day if I can to let things grow/thicken...

1. Every RE is different! My RE says anything above 5...I've read on here others want it above a 7-8.
2. When are you triggering? Typically you BD on trigger night...skip a night, and IUI the next morning. But like I said before...all RE's are different! As far as testing goes...if you O on the 11th..the soonest I would test is the 21st and even that is kind of soon...that would only be 10dpo.

Good luck!!

These questions are very helpful for me as I may be in this position tomorrow. I hope your triggering goes ok; just remember first time is always the worst then it will get easier. Good luck!

Thank you everyone! Your answers and support are both appreciated!

I triggered today around 2:00pm. No IUI this cycle, just TI. @emmuffy, I hope you get to trigger!

I had thin lining after clomid, and I was put on an estrogen patch after my first follicle monitoring ultrasound (CD 11).. I came back after the weekend and the lining improved to a great state and I triggered that morning! So, I'd definitely ask about the estrogen to improve things next time!
