Lining 7.2mm and not triple lined.

Background - 4 FET. Lining has never been above 7.5mm but I've been told by the NHS it's always been triple lined.

Moved to dr Gorgy and my lining hasn't grown in a week and a half and is still around 7.2- 7.4mm. Not unusual for me but it's not triple lined.

Dr Gorgy has told me it's not ideal and my chances are reduced but transfer can still go ahead.

Has anyone had a bfp with a non triple lining?
I've found a few stories online xx

I wouldn't go ahead with the transfer. From the research I read, it seems the triple layer isn't necessary if your lining is thick (can't remember if the cut-off was 12mm or 14mm or something like that) but with a thin lining and no triple layer you're doomed.

Aw sweetie is there anyway in postponing et or at least speaking to him in more detail before transferring? I transferred once where my lining wasn't triple layered and it didn't work. All I googled seemed to bring up was it doesn't matter so much on thickness as long as the triple layer is there. Xx

It doesn't necessarily mean you're doomed! I had a failed cycle when my lining was over 9 and triple lined. Changed clinics and have had two transfers with a lining of between 7 and 8, no mention of triple lining, and the results of both are now asleep upstairs! So don't give up. Chat to your clinic.

Aww this has made me feel a bit better. Were you worried about your transfer thickness before transferring? Xx

I think Dr Gorgy wouldnt suggest transfer if he thought it was an absolute no. He's an experienced doc who wants success so if he felt there was no chance I'm sure he wouldn't recommend proceeding. Stay strong and trust the docs xxx
Yeahhh I did think that and I'm learning he has stricter ways.
E.g. NHS like thyroid under 2.5 and any lining over 7mm is fine.
Dr Gorgy likes it to be under 2 and a lining of over .8mm.

I suppose it could be worse and could be 6mm xx

I'm gonna speak to him defo with my worries.
I've read if your uterus is tilted that can affect it and mines retroverted which is the same isn't it? Xx

It def doesn't mean your doomed!!
I've always suffered with thin lining and mine only gets to around 7-7.5.  On my first successful cycle it was 7.4 but not triple layered, I think with some women their lining only ever gets to a certain mm no matter what meds they are on, although tamoxifen and vaginal changes can help if you don't respond to artificial estrogen

Also I'm another one who think Dr gorgy is a specialist in his field and would not give go ahead for transfer unless he thought u had a chance

Good luck xxxx

He's added clexane to help with blood flow - I started that a few days after oestrogen.
He's also done the neupogen wash xx

Thanks lovely. I'm liking reading all these success stories. Were you worried about transferring on your successful cycle with no triple lines? Xx

To be honest no one said anything about the lack of triple line and I was just happy it had got to over 7 so no I wasn't worried at all.  I'm definitely one of those ladies that just won't ever get a lining thicker than 8mm but I've achieved 2 pregnancies with one lining of 7.4 and the other 7.2 first time I didn't have triple stripe and second time my triple stripe waSnt quite there!

I think when u start progesterone lining doesn't get thicker but lining morphology changes to get ready for embryo implantation xx

I'm the same as you.
My lining has never ever got to 8mm so I'm not surprised it hasn't - I'm probably focusing mine on the fact Gorgy wants it above 8mm and his word of it's not ideal keeps playing over in my mind xx
