Hi Sophia_cop - my wife was on the clinic's standard medicated FET protocol. She started with estrace 2mg three times a day oral, then when she didn't respond, they added estrace vaginally. After that they added estradot patches. We approached our RE about vaginal sildenafil as recommended by Dr. Sher. He said their clinic's experience was it didn't help, but he agreed to prescribe it. We were told to just insert the regular tablets vaginally and my wife found they weren't dissolving well when used vaginally, so we ended up going to a compounding pharmacy to make them as vaginal suppositories. Unfortunately our cycle got cancelled (after 3 weeks her lining still only at 6.2mm and there was fluid buildup) before we got to try them to see if it would have made a difference.
Our current cycle our RE wants to try a natural unmedicated FET, although my wife is contemplating using the vaginal sildenafil suppositories she had made up last time anyways. Her first 2 IVF cycles on trigger day, her lining was also around 6mm, but for some reason her 3rd cycle was 9mm? Not sure if that was due to a measurement error or not.
Please post back with any updates! My wife has been following Dr. Sher's blog for awhile and she was thinking of booking a consult with him if our current FET is canceled again.
