I had my lining check on Monday and it was not thick enough. My doctor has doubled my dose and we are going to check my lining next week. My question is, has anyone needed longer to get their lining thicker and then become pregnant with a frozen transfer? Im worried that this isnt the cycle for me if it isnt ready in the right amount of time.
Lining question.

On our first FET cycle my wife was put on estrogen for 4 weeks trying to get her lining thick enough (it didn't and fluid was in the lining so we cancelled). Thicker lining is obviously better, but my clinic said they were willing to transfer with minimum of 6mm but preferred 7mm+. Our 3rd FET lining was 6.9mm but was successful. Good luck!

I had lots of trouble with a thin lining and was successful on a transfer after 33 days of lining development. There really isn't a "right amount of time" as long as the lining does not degrade, and they check this during your visits.

Clinics have a good handle on this, so I would have to say for you to have confidence in their call. Good luck with the transfer.

Hi Dory, from what I remember, they are only concerned about your lining up to when they start the progesterone. It is normal for the lining thickness to decrease a bit once you start the progesterone. Good luck!
