hi all,

I just had my day 10 scan done today. There were 2 nice follicles, one was 12, another one was 14, but the lining was only 6mm thick. pretty nurse says lining has to be minimum 8mm thick.

Please, what should I do to increase lining thickness. Please advise!

get a hot water bottle on your belly for defo, also i think milk? might help... not sure but it won't hurt though.

Hope it thickens up for you hun

thanks. i had a hot bath, and it was 9 yesterday.
relieved.

still get a hot water bottle on there too at least until EC as the thicker the better hun - mine got up to 12 or more in the end and both mine snuggled into it.

i see. thanks
i had hot bath, and had plenty of fresh pineapple juice plut brazil nuts. 

I need to buy a hot water bottle, ( i never have had one,  )

after ET you can't use it on belly at all but i used to lay on sofa with my feet on it, lovely x

Or those wheat bags are good we have those too but i binned my microwave so cant use em now 

 

[pigtail]

wheat bags sound so cool. Can I get them from Tesco or Asda?

I got my wheatbag off the internet.  Try your local Pharmacist as they might stock them.

I also drank gallons of milk and that seemed to help.

All the best

Pigtail,  I had my day 10 scan too.
one follice 15.something  one follice 9 something
my lining is also low it was 5.something.  when i said to nurse oh i know its supposed to be 8 she said they like to see 6.
so fingers crossed it goes up as Im hoping for Di mon/tue
ps she laughed at me  when i suggested a hot water bottle and said it was an old wives tale..
so ive got 3 days for an improvement.

runnign out, but my clinic says >8 at ovulation/EC
(Clomid killed mine temporarily...)

6 day 10 will be absolutely fine. xxx

ask your clinic about giving you viagra 25 mgs four times a day- usually clinic remedy, I have had this on my last 3 cycles. aspirin and clexane have also been prescribed

I'm off for DIUI this pm.    Lets hope my lining has improved otherwise they wont do it.
It'l just be my luck,  surely it can increase in 3 days? to 6mm.  I'm worried.

 

[pigtail]

kittyblue,

i was told minimum 8mm, i just wonder 6mm is enough?

good luck, waiting good news from you

Hi Kitty
Just wondered how you got on - you are the same as me aren't you - off to Leicester for donor sperm (but from Hull/Beverley)? Do you have your scans done in Leicester? It is a nightmare to travel all that way isn't it? I have managed to have scans done in Hull so far.
Interested to hear what your lining was - do they scan you before treatment then? I only had that once due to weekend timing. Hope it went OK - did you have the 2 insems?

hi,  it went well.  My lining had increased to 10.9        follicle 18

I had the scan first then came back an hour later for the DIUI,  we went and got some lunch.

The nurse asked if we were going back tomorrow for another go.  but when we saw Mr Girish he said they dont do 2 anymore as nothing has been proven that it gives a better chance

So I dont know whether we're going back tomorrow or not,  nurse said to ring in the morning.
Ps I was a bit of a wimp it was uncomfortable  like a really bad af.

Youre right about the nightmare journey  we can do it in 2 hours now and then few mins to get into hospital.

Didnt know you could get scans done in Hull  are they at the private clinic  and did you arrange or did Leicester?    that would save a lot of time.

Hi
Glad the results were good and it went well. They did 2 for me last time and Mr Davidson said on Saturday that they still do - always feels more positive as surely more little spermies have gone in? Strange. 

I usually find it quite uncomfortable to be honest - not the nicest procedure is it?
Prof Killick kindly does my scans and we pay him privately - he had been really kind to us and was really frustrated he couldn't help us here in Hull - I asked him as a favour to be honest and he said he would -  he does them himself. 

We have always stayed down - it costs more but then when you add up the 4 journeys as opposed to 2 not that much - also has reduced the stress - means I need 2 days off work every time though and being a teacher it is really hard at short notice.
When is test day?  Dreaded 2ww again then? Fingers crossed for you.

hi tiny,
hope everything went well. same suitation here. I keep asking time off, and it is hard. I wish people can understand us. 

I had IUI done yesterday,and now officially on 2ww list. fingers crossed. 

I did feel pain and had some blood afterwards as well. but nurse was so nice. I coundn't complain. the pain went in an hour. I feel normal now , just wonder where are the all sperms.
