Any thin lining success stories?

missmarypoppinsmissmarypoppins member
in Pregnant after IF
So I went for my 2nd beta and lining check today and my lining was only a 7. I know it's not the worst but it's definitely on the thin side. I've been on endometrin 3x a day and prometrium 2x a day.
I'm super frustrated because my lining has always been 10-12 even on natural cycles, this is such BS!
I know the beta results will tell the story today but any success stories out there with a thin lining? Something to make me not freak out while I wait for the results, please!

    I don't necessarily have a success story or advice...but I will say that my RE never looked at my lining after ET.  So as long as you're not bleeding much and you are taking the endometrin, it may not be quite as crucial but rather more of a bonus if it can stay nice and fluffy.  FX for a good beta to put you at ease!


    Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
    IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
    IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
    Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!

    Thanks @gsancho‌ and @viola27! Maybe they're just stressing me out for nothing. But my nurse really made it seem like a big deal. I haven't been bleeding so that's a good sign. And if my beta came back at 247 that means the little bean implanted even if the lining was thin. Grrr so stressful!

    I wouldn't exactly call myself a success story yet because it is still so early, but my ET was done with a lining of 6.5mm and I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. I had an u/s at 5w3d that showed a gestational sac and yolk sac. RE looked at my lining and it was still around 6.5mm, but then stated that at this point, the lining doesn't matter anymore. I searched the internet around ET time and there are definitely a good number of thin lining success stories out there - women who went on to have healthy babies! FX for both of us. GL with your 2nd beta. Keep us posted!

    Mine didn't measure lining either after trigger.

    Honestly sometimes I think this early testing just gives us more reason to worry! No bleeding is a great sign. All you can do is keep taking progesterone and wait. I tried to remember early on that a normal fertile person wouldn't even see a doctor until maybe week 10 or so, with no idea what is happening in the meantime! So just try to breathe and realize there's nothing you can do except wait and believe that it will work.

    I kept repeating to myself: "Today I am pregnant and that is great. I am pregnant unless and until a doctor tells me otherwise, so I choose to enjoy this pregnancy for as long as I have it." Didn't always work, but having a mantra to repeat helped keep my worries in check.

    No lining checks here. I'm sorry they stressed you out about this, especially because the proof is in the pudding at this point... and your pudding so far looks great (sorry! =)) ). I feel like my RE did some unnecessary testing that led to stress, too. Are you on baby aspirin?

    As you can see in my siggy, I've had lining issues in the past.  No matter how much estrodiol I'm on, my lining doesn't respond, and as such I haven't had any luck with FET's.  So, with this last fresh transfer, they measured it at the last appointment before I triggered/ER and it a 7 if I round up.  In my history, progesterone decreases my lining by a lot (old RE was shocked by how much), so I know at transfer, my lining had to be a 6-something.  Because of my lining issues, I was shocked to find out that all 3 3dt embryos implanted, however I lost two - not lining related, most likely genetics.  I'm currently 31 weeks with a singleton!  Good luck!!

    **Sig warning***

    I had a lining check about a week before ET. It was a 6 something. They told me goal was 7-13 and expected some more improvement up to FET. Like others, there was no check AFTER ET. I was on estradiol and progesterone.

    I am now 35 weeks with a singleton.

    My lining was always on the thinner side, as a matter of fact my periods had been very light for the past 2-3 years. 

    I just checked my ultrasound report mine was 7.3 mm 5 days before my 5dt (FET).  I'm 28 weeks pregnant now.  Stay positive it can happen!  Good luck.
