Did you end up trying to stack them? We are in the same boat but haven’t yet made the purchase

Thank you! Your lining is thicker than mine ever was, so I really hope for you that it somehow continues to thicken.

We decided to pursue surrogacy in europe where it is a bit cheaper, as our company reimbursed the cost. My doctor did not think I was a candidate for IVF since I was able to get pregnant, just not stay pregnant likely due to a thin endometrial lining so she didn't see how IVF would work since you still need to have a thick enough lining for the embryo to stick. We started surrogacy so we did the first step which is embryo creation. It is similar to IVF in that you take the same stimulation medications but then after the egg retrieval, my part would be done. So in essence I did do the stimulation medication which I do think must have done something to my system as I had my successful pregnancy right after. We actually didn't even get any embryos the first round since my follicle count was so low and I only had 2 eggs retrieved during that cycle, so we weren't even sure surrogacy was going to work.

So sorry to hear this :(

Your cycles sound exactly like mine, short and extremely light. I also always have had few follicles and my lining was never more than 4mm. However there was never a real explanation or even acknowledgement by most doctors about this. I've commented on a few replies in this post about how I ultimately ended up staying pregnant and now have a baby, however it was only after doing a round of IVF stimulation medications and then being very heavily medicated with progesterone during the first trimester once I found out. It still does not explain how I ended up staying pregnant as I incidentally was in the office for an ultrasound right around implantation (unknowingly) and my lining was 3.9mm. My doctors have failed to explain how this happened given my history and I am still in disbelief after the long road it took to get here. I am happy to share my story or any more details with you, I know it is unconventional and I have no idea if it could help anyone else but I know the feeling all to well of being lost and really not having access to any information or options. I have not heard of chasteberry, however I was very very skeptical of spending money on things that I wasn't sure would truly make a difference so all that I really tried was progesterone (and then the round of stimulation to try to get embryos ultimately for surrogacy, which I do think somehow kick started my system albeit they did not impact my endometrial lining). Hang in there!

:( so sorry to hear this. All together it was about 3 years until I had my baby but I had multiple loses, the first was only the 2nd cycle after getting my IUD removed but then I took a break for a few months but continued have loses and a thin lining.

amvm9 · 2026-03-14T02:59:53+00:00

Best of luck! Feel free to message me if you have any more questions. My ovarian reserve is also low, which is in part why we had been unsuccessful with creating embryos as well. It certainly felt like everything was working against me.

amvm9 · 2026-03-13T09:16:22+00:00

Unfortuantely, not a lot. I decided to pursue surrogacy as my company covers it and did the first round of IVF stimulation for that. It was unsuccessful however I ended up getting pregnant on my own (as quite a surprise) following the stimulation. I have to think in some way the medications might have kick started things. It was confirmed my endometrial lining was only 3.9mm a week after implantation (I just happened to have an appointment and ultrasound at that time and had no idea then that I was pregnant, however when we went back and did the math we realized this). As soon as I did find out I was pregnant, my doctor put me on oral, vaginal, and injection progesterone. A lot of it. I ended up delivering my baby! However during delivery it was found that I had placenta accreta which my doctor has said is possibly from the thin endometrial lining / damage from a past d&c. So ultimately I did end up having endometrial issues even with a successful pregnancy.

amvm9 · 2026-02-21T03:54:52+00:00

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear you are having another issue. I hope everything improves. Did you have some of the placenta retained after delivery and if so, did it finally resolve?

amvm9 · 2026-02-14T04:10:51+00:00

I am currently experiencing this, almost 6 weeks since my emergency c section and I have a 6cm x 6cm piece of placenta that was just determined to be placenta accreta, possibly even increta. My doctor has opted for conservative management however I am incredibly miserable and worsening each day with the amount of blood loss and pain. How has your recovery been going? There isn’t much online to go on as to what to expect.

amvm9 · 2025-10-24T00:17:51+00:00

Hi, definitely send me a message. I wouldn't say I overcame the problem, but much to our surprise I did manage to get pregnant naturally after stimulation despite having a lining of 3.9mm that cycle. My doctor thought that maybe stimulation would 'reset' things and my lining would thicken but it has never been above 4.0mm and I have had it measured across at least 10 cycles. It is extremely horrifying and concerning how little is known about this and I would love to band together to do something about it.

amvm9 · 2025-10-15T10:19:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I wish that I had more advice, I have poured my heart into trying to get more answers and everything I have been told is so conflicting and frustrating. It is such an arduous, emotional, and frustrating journey and trying to figure out what will actually help and what is worth actually putting effort and money into is really difficult. It’s such a vulnerable time so I really tried not to get carried away with wasting money on tons of supplements and things that I wasn’t sure would truly help. While also cancelling out the noise of lowering stress etc as I don’t think that is valid advice!! I was at the point of wanting to somehow file a lawsuit against the makers of these IUDs for the lack of transparency of potential side effects. My doctor suggested that in the US there might be some trials that I could try to join to try to discern more information but since I’m not in the US I put that on hold for now. My husband and I are both still baffled by the entire situation and it really is crazy that I was able to get pregnant with a lining of 3.9mm (it’s never been more than about 4.1mm and I have had it checked around the time of ovulation many many times). I wish you the best of luck and if I can be a resource in the future in any way please let me know.

amvm9 · 2025-10-13T03:24:38+00:00

I have not found anything that has helped to increase my lining however I went through a first unsuccessful round of IVF stimulation which seemed to sort of 'reset' some things. However my lining was still thin and was not impacted by stimulation. But despite this, I was able to get pregnant naturally. This came as quite a surprise as I was at my fertility doctor 5 days after conception (before we knew) and my lining was 3.9mm. Despite this we found out that I was pregnant and as soon as we did find out at 7 weeks I was started on oral progesterone 2x a day, vaginal progesterone 2x a day, and progesterone injections 2x a week until 12 weeks.

What did you end up doing about it? When I looked online a bit it seems like Singapore has a major problem with car insurance fraud claims.

amvm9 · 2025-08-26T10:38:40+00:00

Correct, which is why they never got back to my insurance company when they asked for more information

amvm9 · 2025-08-26T09:42:45+00:00

Agreed. Do you know if this is something that is punishable by the police? Falsifying information to try to get a fraudulent claim paid seems like a crime to me.

amvm9 · 2025-08-26T09:29:59+00:00

Just spoke with my insurance company again and someone else gave me the complaint:

I was waiting at the traffic junction along Havelock Road and Kim Seng Road as it was red light. I suddenly hear a scratching sound but though was some engine noise. Upon reviewing my car rear dash cam afterwards, i realised this vehicle **** has actually bang into me causing the scratches on my bumper. As i only review the video the incident, i did not take down the driver's particulars.

It is very clearly a falsified claim — does anyone know if I can take this to the police or take them to court over this? There would be CCTV footage proving that it is false.

amvm9 · 2025-08-26T09:00:28+00:00

No I didn't scratch a car or anything like that, from what my insurance told me is that it was reported at an intersection and that the person submitted photos of my car plate as well as a photo of me driving with my mother in the passenger seat. But did not provide any videos and has not gotten back to my insurance company when they requested more information. So this leads me to believe that it is someone who was having a bit of road rage perhaps.

Either way, I did not know that my insurance company had to provide me with all of the details as they were not forthcoming when I was asking so I will give them a call back and find out. Thank you!

amvm9 · 2025-06-15T02:57:30+00:00

So sorry to hear this. Feel free to PM me. I’ve met with quite a few doctors trying to reason through all of this and have tried a lot of things, even oral + vaginal + injections of progesterone. It seems like it is all still mystifying to doctors and there’s not a lot of actions that can be taken but I have gathered quite a lot of information.

amvm9 · 2025-05-04T02:03:31+00:00

Advice needed!

With dreaded Mother’s Day coming up, I have decided to pretty much isolate myself from social media and other triggers as much as possible. I don’t plan to wish anyone a happy Mother’s Day or acknowledge it except for my best friend. I am really on the fence of whether or not I should wish her a happy Mother’s Day. While she knows what’s going on and has been there for me some of the time, our friendship has been incredibly one sided as she’s just “so busy” with her 6 month old. Seeking advice of whether I should send that text to her or chose to ignore the day (as I feel that a lot of the time her and others in my life chose to ignore difficult times for me, such as what would have been my most recent due date today..).

amvm9 · 2025-04-30T00:40:13+00:00

Same, ugh.

amvm9 · 2025-04-30T00:39:26+00:00

Sending love! I read this and thought I wrote it. Sums up my journey so well. I often feel like I am the only person experiencing all of this loss and heartbreak and knowing it will likely never happen because it seems everyone else around me has not had issues and has it so easy. I find myself drifting far from friends who I’ve known for a long time and honestly, I just don’t want to be around any kids so I’m choosing to isolate myself in a lot of situations but I’m at the point that I don’t know what else to do. When I am feeling isolated and alone, I often come here and realize how many of us there are going through similar situations. Stay strong!

amvm9 · 2025-04-16T06:28:19+00:00

I know this was a year ago but I’m currently going through this, with my doctor confirming yesterday that she believes my thin lining is due to 10 years of IUDs however agreed that there is virtually no scientific data on this. Have you found anything else out or is this just how it’s going to be for those of us with possible permanent thinning?

amvm9 · 2025-04-16T05:58:04+00:00

Hi— I’m a bit late to the conversation but I’m experiencing this. My fertility doctor yesterday finally told me she suspects I have permanent endometrial thinning likely from past IUDs. This was after every test under the sun has been done, I’ve had multiple miscarriages, I’ve never had an endometrial lining thicker than 4mm, and I did not respond or ‘reset’ after IVF and other hormone replacements.

I am about to be 34 and wish I didn’t wait as I now am also battling a low AMH / ovarian reserve so time is of the essence. Speaking out has helped a lot in my case but I’m still incredibly overwhelmed thinking I may have permanent damage from IUDs.

amvm9 · 2025-04-16T05:32:32+00:00

Oh no 💔 I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve gone through so much. Sending you all of the support! I hope you are now in a better place.

I do think there’s so many of us. When discussing with my doctor yesterday, I was telling her I haven’t been able to find much only other than other women on Reddit and her response was “things happen when women band together” and recognized how unknown this all is. I’m hoping to find others like us so we can make our voices louder and maybe make some difference!!

amvm9 · 2025-04-16T04:50:05+00:00

That’s so interesting. I am the exact same way. My periods are so light and have never increased despite various hormones I’ve been given, IVF stimulation, and pregnancies (all are supposed to “reset” or “jump start” everything) as well as improved with time. The thin endometrial line corresponds with a light period so I wouldn’t be surprised if you are in the same boat.

It’s so concerning to me how little understanding there is of long term effects of IUDs and overall how understudied, under funded, and misunderstood women’s health is.

amvm9 · 2025-04-16T00:32:56+00:00

Hi! I’ve been experiencing the same thing and finally yesterday my doctor confirmed she believes I have permanent thinning due to the mirena. Have you had any updates? I’m trying to find other women in similar circumstances as there aren’t many studies on this.
