I called my RE because I had my first IUI Sinday June 13,2008- At my CD 9 appointment the nurse commented that my lining was 4.5mm.. but showed 3 stripes..and I have a wonderful follicle size 20mm..along with one 15mm and 13mm. I had taken clomid CD 3-7 at 5mg-- I got a call on CD 9 at night to go ahead and trigger with 10,000 IU of Novarel.. and the IUI was done 36 hours later... But my lining or lack of bothered me.. so I went on line and researched lining and then to my dissapointment discovered linings 8mm-13mm are ideal so I called my RE.. this was her response.. would you concur..
"She assures me that my lining is fine and told me that adding estrogen between CD 9-Cd11 would have done very little as my blood work on CD 9 showed an estrogen level over 900... She said the most important thing is that they saw 3 stripes.. Also that clomid does make for a thinner lining,and thats expected.. she said that there is a chance if the egg fertilizes it will successfully implant in my lining...She said she would never have done the IUI if there was not a chance.. she also said doing the IUI was better than intercourse because the sperm are right in the uterus.. I just do not know what to believe.. she is super nice and told me that I have a great follice and 3 stripes, excellent estrogen level and all those 3 things combined make for a good chance at a successful IUI.. Please share your oppinion.Thanks
