Good size follicle but thin uterine lining

  Unfortunately, I've had two BFP with thin linings (thickest being 6.0 two days prior to the IUI) and I was on estrace vaginally twice/day, but they both resulted in chemical pregnancies.  I'm thinking the lining had something to do with it. My nurse said while they want to see around 8 for a lining for IUI, she is happy with 7-7.5 as well. Hopefully yours will continue to thicken over the next 1-2 days! Fingers crossed!

  Thanks! Yea she said ideally she wants it to be at least a 7, but this will do for now. Waiting on bloodwork results to find out when I go in for the iui! This will be iui#2, last one was unsuccessful

  @lh060 I would ask about taking vaginal estrace to thicken your lining. It's not too late to start since you also have time between O and implantation for it to thicken. It worked to build my lining up very quickly when Clomid thinned it out.

  Married to DH 10/6/12

  TTC since 5/14

  Unexplained with (controlled) hypothyroidism and suspected ovulatory dysfunction (but, I do ovulate on my own)

  Clomid 50 mg 3/15 (unmonitored) - BFN

  Clomid 50 mg + metformin 4/15 (unmonitored) - BFN 

  First RE appt. 5/15; Natural cycle 5/15 monitored with 2 mature follicles and Pregnyl Trigger (full dose) + prometrium - BFN

  6/15 HSG - clear tubes & normal uterus; great PCT test results

  TI - 100 mg Clomid + prometrium (AM & PM) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 6-7/15 (monitored) --> no additional response and thinned lining - BFN

  TI - Injectables (follistim + Gonal-F, Ganirelix, & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 9/15 --> 3-7 mature follicles (3 definites and 4+ that could have matured due to trigger) @ O -->BFN + 5 large cysts

  BC for 2 weeks due to cysts
  

  TI - Injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & full dose Pregnyl) + prometrium (AM & PM) 10/15 --> 1 mature follicle --> BFN 

  TI - Last attempt at injectables (Gonal-F, Ganirelix & 1/2 dose Pregnyl) + crinone (AM only) + vaginal estrace (AM & PM) 11/15 --> 3-4 mature follicles --> BFP!! 11/27/15 @ 13dpo (shockingly, actually waited until then to test)

  
  

  Beta #1 @ 16dpo (11/30/15) = 1,075

  Beta #2 @ 19dpo (12/3/15) = 3,150

  One baby: Saw heartbeat @ 5w5d (114 bpm; baby measuring 2.3mm)

  I agree with @riveridgional you still have up to 10 days to implantation. Also, if you aren't already, try drinking red raspberry leaf tea everyday. It made a huge difference when my lining was thin. (I was around 6 first IUI then 8mm on same cycle day for second IUI. Only thing I changed was the tea. By my IVF cycle the following month I had been drinking it for a while and my lining was over 9mm) also it tastes good.

  I second the rec about estrace ! I took it orally during my last IUI cycle bc my lining was about the same . Good luck !!!
