Women who have a uterus who take HRT must take progestin or progesterone if they take estrogen in order to protect their uterine lining from the proliferative effects of estrogen.
Estrogen is not associated with an increased risk of any type of cancer (except endometrial/uterine). Studies that compared estrogen-only HRT with combine HRT showed an increased risk of breast cancer for combined but NOT for estrogen-only.
What is a good way to thicken the uterine lining. My lining my last two cycles have been 7mm then 5mm. I was on clomid both times, and my RE has switched me to Letrozole. I'm going on vacation this month so won't start a cycle till October. I heard baby aspirin will help, but not sure if this is safe.
My doctor prescribed me 30 days of estrogen and 10 days of progesterone to be taken on the last 10 days of the estrogen, in order to rebuild my uterine lining. My question is is it normal to start bleeding before stopping the progesterone. I have been reading that the progesterone is supposed to restart your cycle and that you should start bleeing a few days after you stop the supplements. I started bleeding on the 8th day of taking the supplements and bled for six days.
) Be aware also that Clomid can thin your uterine lining & if it's too thin, an embryo won't attach. I learned this after stopping the Clomid! Your doc might also check your progesterone & if it's too low, you could use progesterone supps from O (ovulation) to AF. They will lengthen your luteal phase & thicken your uterine lining. Good luck to you!!!
She did a vaginal ultrasound. She said everything, including my uterine lining, looked normal. I asked her about cervical stenosis as I have had a LEEP (including cervical canal) but she said at least the ultrasound looked normal.
She said it looked like I ovulated,and I have eggs, etc. She expected my endometrial lining would be too thick or too thin after not having had a period for so long, but it looked normal/medium thickness.
What is estradiol? Estrogen? If it is estrogen, this is used to thicken the lining of the uterus. I don't think this should continue to be taken. My doctor has me stop this on day 15 of my cycle.
If it is progesterone, then yes, 12 weeks.... but depending on why it was prescribed.
I would be checking with your doctor asap, as he is the best one to answer this.
When the lining is too thin, doctors call it "uterine insufficiency," I think. You might try that line of inquiry.
I went to my gyn doctor, because I told her i did not have a period in four months she gave me an appt to have transvaginal sonogram. it showed thick uterine lining of 10 mm therefore she said that i needed an endometrial biopsy which i had. my results came back benign, thank God. I asked her if I needed to take any hormone therapy like progesterone, she said no she does not like putting her patients on hormones due to the side effects only if absolutely necessary.
I imagine he/she would prescribe progesterone supplements, which would thicken your uterine lining. If your lining is too thin, an embryo can't attach. Progesterone suppositories seem to be a good first step. Has your ob mentioned them? If not, maybe you could ask him/her about trying them. My ob originally prescribed them for me, but I'm continuing with them through my RE. Before taking prog., my luteal phase (from Ovulation- period) was only around 9 days.
