Go Lining Go! July 15, 2005
Last night I started getting a tad worried about my thin lining situation. Ok, more than a tad. My lining has always been a stubborn little thing, and it did nothing to help its reputation when it measured a crappy 1.2mm after 4 days of stims.
So, when I went in today for more monitoring I was beyond pleased to see that my lining is now measuring 5.3mm. Oh, yeah. I’ll definitely take a 4mm growth over two days. It’s obviously still not as thick as it needs to be, but it looks like it will have plenty of time to grow.
I am stimming very slowly this cycle. I’ve never been one to blow through stims, but this cycle is slooooooow. Today, after 6 days of stims, my largest follicle measured 14. Almost all of my other 14 follicles measured under 10. My E2 came back at 262 today. It’s going in the right direction, but it’s taking its sweet time doing so. I’ve been assured this is ok, and that it just means that it’s going to take me longer to stim this cycle.
I’m feeling good both physically and emotionally today. The rise in my E2 is definitely helping out with the horrible side effects. It’s nice not to feel like total crap. I’m trying my best to chill as much as possible this cycle. It’s not always easy, especially for a champion obsessor like me, but I’m trying.
I better enjoy this feel good period while it lasts. I’m sure something will come up sooner or later that will send me into a tailspin. Until then, though, I’m just going to savor the fact that I’m not stressing the fuck out.

I’m so glad things are going well. You deserve a break!
Amanda - My 3rd IVF (you know, the one that miraculously WORKED) was my slowest one as far as Stims are concerned. I felt like I was never going to get to Egg Retreival, and it finally happened almost a full week later than in the previous cycles.
Not that it means anything, but you never know! Slow and steady…you know how the saying goes. Great news!!!!
Hooray for some action on the lining front. I had to stim last time for 16 days but you know that too fast isn’t good either. Take it easy this weekend.
I’m glad that you’re not stressing the fuck out! I’m glad the lining came along well.
Oh WOW.. that’s quite the lining jump!!!
It’s about time you get a break.
So glad things are moving along. Slow and steady wins the race, you know! You are doing great.
FANTASTIC!!!
Hang in there, you’re doing great.
Thinking of you.
Go linning go, very good news indeed!

On my first round of clomid, my lining was only 2mm on day 12 and I was told if it hadn’t thickened up by then it probably wouldn’t. After much panicking and praying it grew 6mm in two days!
Go lining, indeed! Glad to hear things are coming along nicely for you–slow & steady, etc.
Crossing all my fingers and toes for you, my dear.
Glad to hear about your lining. And I agree with some of the other commmenters that slow and steady isn’t a bad way to go. Fingers crossed for you and I hope you continue to enjoy this breather!
Hope all continues to go well. Thinking good things for you!
