Typical stupid chick who believed motherhood after 40 would be easy. It wasn't; and that's a gross understatement. Thanks to CCRM and a lot of money, a little lady made me a mommy and I found love and weakness in myself I never knew existed.

WTF is going on?!
Lining is STILL at 7mm! (NO fluid - thank goodness for that!)
Crap -that sucks. Glad to hear the fluid is gone, but jeez! Hope your lining thickens up - thinking of you - I don't know why everything has to be so freaking hard. Did your doctor say anything - is there anything you can do at this point?
Yeah, did they up your estrace? But don't worry hon, 7mm is perfectly good for a lining (although like you, mine has always been thicker until THIS last cycle). Just when you think you know what your body will do...
I was thinking acupuncture too. I've heard it can really help with thickening your lining...as can a glass of red wine here and there. I'm not sure how you feel about alcohol while cycling but I do know it has helped some people build a thicker lining. (I think I had a glass or two on our trip out for the FET just b/c I wasn't worrying about egg quality for once!).
Reading other people's comments... I may or may not have had a few pomegranate martinis during my FET prep. (Pomegranate juice is supposed to be good for lining but I can't convincingly argue that was the reason I drank it.)
I'm a fellow CCRMer and just had a case of the incredible shrinking lining, that cancelled my FET. (6mm, more estrace up the waahoo. Up to 7mm, more estrace up the waahoo. And then less than 6mm on the next check.) I have never had lining issues before, so I totally feel your lining frustration! (And have also asked WTF?)

Oh man, I'm sorry. What are they going to try? Acu? More estrogen? Grow lining grow!

Good luck!

SERIOUSLY?!? I'm frustrated for you!

Well, humbug!
