Hello, we have one normal PGS embryo from two cycles. We wanted to do an ERA test, but despite my estrogen level getting to 2500, my lining only got to 4.6. During both Gonal F/ Menopur stimulations for egg retrieval my lining got above 8mm.
Mentioned to my doc about doing a Gonal- F / HCG protocol even though I dont know much about it. They said they wouldnt be able to do an ERA with that type of protocol. What different types of medicated protocols are there for FET? Just trying to understand what our options would be.
Thanks!
What FET protocol did you use?

I have also had issues with lining and having an allergic reaction to certain meds. I ended up doing an Estradiol Valerate injection every three days and Estradot patches (changed every second day). I also added Vitamin E, drank red leaf raspberry tea (wo cups a day), drank POM juice (once a day) and took a baby aspirin every day. I hope you can find a protocol that fits you! Good luck!!

Thank you for the info. Yes I feel like I was having an allergic reaction to the estradiol pills, my tongue and mouth felt really swollen, and I was gritting me teeth, feeling really on edge:/
Good to know theres an estradiol injection as well as the patches. Not sure if that would give me the same reaction or not. Maybe not.
They did cancel my ERA and Im back on birth control for a month until I can settle back down. We will discuss more when I go back.
Yes I gotta get some POM and red raspberry tea for sure!!!

For me, I was itchy...hands and arms would get hives and itch really bad. I didn't have any other symptoms but it made them nervous. I didn't have any reaction at all with the injection. The only downside to the injection is that the medication has to be compounded at a compounding pharmacy. And on top of that, the ingredients are a little scarce right now so I had to order it and have it shipped!
Hope you are able to find a protocol that works for you!! Good luck!

Not for me, but I have a friend that does this too and it works.
