I ♥ Estrogen April 30, 2006
My lovely friend E2 can’t make up for all of the evil Lupron side effects, but it does a pretty darn good job trying. As much as it is a pain to find space for all of these Vivelle patches, every time I slap on another one it makes me happy because I know that even more estrogen is going to find its way into my body. I still have my cranky moments, but I’m definitely feeling better than before.
Tomorrow morning is my first lining check ultrasound along with another E2 check. I’m not really worried that my body is absorbing the estrogen from the patches well, but I am getting a little nervous about how my lining might be faring. That’s my biggest source of worry in this FET besides the whole “will it work?” thing.
At the first check for my two previous FETs, my lining only measured 6-7mm. It did manage to get to 9mm with some additional time on Estrace my first FET, but it only got up to 7.5mm my second FET. It wouldn’t budge even with additional time on Estrace. My lining has always gotten to where it needs to be on fresh cycles, but there’s something about a FET protocol that makes it behave differently.
I refuse to transfer with a sub par lining this cycle. I won’t waste our last chance embryos on a crappy lining.
I’m hoping that adding acupuncture to the mix, using patches instead of oral Estrace, and being on Lovenox will help in the lining department. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow, won’t we? It better not suck.

Good luck! Hope the lining is where you would like it to be when you go in tomorrow.
May that the lining of yours cooperates tomorrow. Good luck and take care on the drive!
Fervent non-suckage hopes from me too, my dear. May your lining be lush and inviting, and may your drive be smooth and safe.
You hear that, Amanda’s lining? DON’T SUCK! Good luck tomorrow!
OK, lining, it’s showtime. Hop to it.
Good luck tomorrow. Hoping the changes in protocol will make a big difference for you!
I agree w/you re. not transferring with less than an optimal lining. I know my RE will push for transfer if I’m over 6mm but there’s no way I’m doing it.
fingers crossed your lining is lush plump and ready to go for transfer day. good luck
Hoping for good lining news for you today!
Sending good vibes your way….
Thought your appointment was tomorrow. I’m such a bad blogger and buddy. Hope that lining is kicking ass for you and glad the estrogen is helping you feel somewhat better.
