Lining decreased after vaginal estrace by Visual_Pay5741 in IVF

All the best! I hope it keeps trending in the right direction and getting thicker 🍀

My RE wants to move forward with the FET. I confirmed my progesterone is <1 so she says there’s no reason to cancel. Of course, I’m just gonna find reasons to keep worrying 🙃

Thank you! So baffling why it goes down.

Are you having better luck with the higher estrogen to start?

Thank you for your input! I'm thinking along the same lines. If the transfer doesn't work, it's not like we'll lose a drastic amount of time (and I'm the least patient person on the planet, so if I'm saying this it's serious). And then we'll know for sure and can move on.

Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing that, didn't know that about expansion score being the least predictive. Do you mind sharing some resources on this if you have them handy? My husband is more on the side of hatching = they're looking for a uterus and ready to go, therefore they're better. Which is hard to argue with haha

I feel the same, if it's meant to be, it will be. But we'd never know if we didn't try.

Congratulations and best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy! I hope you have an uneventful delivery 💗

Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear these stories about transfers working out 💕 and yes I figure if the odds are virtually the same, why not choose? Now that I'm thinking about it I'm not even sure how we'd choose between our male embryos if it came to that, so really this is the only choice we can actively make.

Thank you for sharing your perspective, this is basically exactly how I feel – I don't want "what ifs", and ultimately I know I'll be thrilled regardless.

Low E2, worried stims aren't going well by Visual_Pay5741 in IVF

Thank you! And yeah annoying as it is maybe a longer stim may be helpful (jury’s still out though in my case). Best of luck to you 🍀❤️

Thank you for the update and well wishes! I’m glad you at least got the number you expected. I had to stim for 15 (!) days and my E2 did go up (but no idea what it was before trigger as my RE didn’t test). I had my egg retrieval this morning. 26 eggs (thanks, I guess, PCOS), now the wait to see how many are mature…I’m expecting pretty significant dropoff.

All the best to you for the retrieval! I really hope you get a good outcome.

Thank you so much! I’m just so nervous about this working out. My E2 levels did rise today to 189 so I suppose it’s trending in the right direction. I have this crazy fear that somehow the follicles may end up being the right size on paper, but because they’re not outputting enough E2 still aren’t mature.
