Anyone know what to do about thin uterine lining?

Question

So I'm in my 4th cycle of meds, this cycle I'm taking 150mg of clomid, 2mg of dexamethasone, 1.25mg of Premarin, 200mg of progesterone, and a prenatal that has 800mcg of folic acid. Last cycle my biggest egg was only 14mm. So now I'm taking a higher dosage of meds so hopefully that will increase the quantity and size of the eggs, but my concern is my lining. Last time they said it wasn't as thick as it should be, but I think the longer I take the meds the thinner it will get? My doc isn't very clear and I'm confused. Does anyone know what meds help with the thickness of the lining or even foods or homeopathic remedies that could help? I have my first IUI coming up this wed. Hopefully my stuff will be up to par to go through with the procedure :/ this stuff is really taking a toll on me

Answer

Clomid makes mine thin too. I took estrace vaginally twice a day starting right around when I would trigger. It thickened it from 5mm to 8mm overnight.

Hi, i did ivf and am currently 3 months pregnant. I tried fertility blend for women you can get it at GNC, also did accupunture and chinese herbals to thicken lining. Hope this helps and good luck

Answer

Clomid made mine on the thin side while we were trying IUI so they switched me to letrozole and I didnt have that issue again. I had better follicle numbers/size withvit too. Ended up having to do IVF later (got pregnant of a letrozole IUI but had a miscarriage at 9 weeks due to genetic abnormalities)but had better chances with leteozole...less hormone issues too. Clomid made me kind of a bitch to be honest.

Answer

I have a thin lining problem too - I read pomegranate juice helps, along with pineapple. I'm a vegetarian, but I stopped eating soy in the hopes that will help too. Still trying...

Answer

I had a similar issue while on Clomid.  I then changed clinics and they did IUI with Gonal F shots and that was the only thing that helped with thickening my lining.  It's not anything you can get without your RE taking that step but it is an option.

Answer

I asked my RE about it once because I was on my 7th round of clomid and he had mentioned it was a bit thin. He told me I should not expect it to get progressively thinner if I continue to use the clomid. He also mentioned (I was doing IUI) that he could give me some estrogen to thicken it if at the time of IUI it was still a bit thin and just a few days of estrogen would give it time to thicken before implantation. I ended up not needing it, but good to know.

Answer

L-arginine is a herbal medication that my naturopath says thickens the lining. 500mg a day should help. I had a polypectomy last yr and I used it to rebuild lining for iui
