Use of Viagra for uterine lining - anybody?

Hi ladies !!!
I am currently undergoing my 3rd attempt at IVF. We have 7 embryos frozen. I am currently taking Viagra 2x a day (25 mg) and .03 estradiol injection IM 2x a day. My last cycle was cancelled, due to my uterine lining not getting thick enough per my dr in order to transfer. I went yesterday (mother's day- is this a sign?) and my lining was up from 6.0 on Thursday 5/5 to 6.7. Dr says he is very happy w/ progress. Have any other ladies used this protocol before before transfer ? I feel as if the Viagra is definitely helping. for FET/IVF what has your dr recommended your lining be at in order to transfer? This seems to be my roadblock. Last time around, my uterus was non-compliant and got up to 6.5 and dropped off. I am very happy with my lining now- and can only hope my transfer will be in my sights this week!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you and happy Monday !!!
Re: Use of Viagra for uterine lining - anybody?
I did the same protocol in February and at my first scan I was at a 7. The next week, I somehow dropped to a 5 and stayed at 5 the next week so we had to cancel. This time, I am not taking Lupron and have added baby aspirin. The only reason for not taking Lupron is because we were originally going to try a cycle w/o meds and the doctor decided to add the meds at my baseline scan and it was too late to start Lupron.
Three cancelled cycles is SO hard!
Do you know if the injectable estrogen is more effective than pills/suppositories/patches? Maybe I should try that.
Good luck to you!
