thickening my lining

in Long term TTC & infertility
HI,

I have asked this question on another thread too.



Just wondered if there was anything I could do to help with the thickening. Is any food useful? I am on clomid and although my folicles are where they should be the nurse said my lining was a little thin, but that she was not overly concerned. Got another scan on monday.



Just wanted to give myself every chance.

Thank you

    Hi, sorry I can't help, but I'd be keen to know too. My AFs are very light and short(last a day and a half, maybe two days), and I suspect this might be a cause of my infertility. I'm going to raise it with my consultant when I go back in March. GL xx

    Zita West - the fertility Guru has these words for advice for thin linings



    daily supplement of VitE

    daily supplement of Vit B1

    stuff rich in iron pumpkin seeds and almonds

    nuts, spinach, seeds, kelp, garlic, kidney beans, milk, brown rice and oatmeal

    bioflavanoids, such as citrus fruits, broccoli, grapes and tomatoes

    L arginine and amino acid have been shown to increase womb lining

    acupuncture

    keep lower abdomen warm with the use of hot water bottle, stop after OV...



    Im going to follow some of these things myself.... Ive never really thought about it before, but this may be the reason for my short AF's....

    Hello Mrs Hopeful



    I am in the midst of having my second cycle of FET and my lining is also causing me issues. I also have very light and short AFs. Last time it would not get thicker than about 6 - 7mm and this meant we could not go ahead last time. Any tips would be good, am trying to eat healthily and have lots of protein and iron x

    HI,

    I have two good folicles. One at 18mm and one at 14mm. I have not ov yet and just done an ov stick and nothing yet. My lining is 6mm but nurse said she would have prefered it to be 7/8mm She said not really anything I can do about it although as I have not yet ov there is still time for it to thicken.



    she did say that if my lining was still on the thin side on wed (4th mid cycle scan) then she would put a note in my file for doc to see to see if they suggest changing my medication from clomid to something that would not affect my lining.Not sure what that would be.......



    Its a dreadful waiting game.



    Watched 'Great Sperm Race' on internet again last night. Its really good. would recommend it.
