    Thank you so much for your help & responses! I'll see what the next few days bring. If AF comes, I'll go with the saline sono and will update.

    Hi Atomic,

    I'm just curious why you don't recommend it? Not even to those doing ivf? Would love to hear your thoughts, I did send the question via pm but my message seems to be stuck again.

    Not even for those doing IVF. High dose Vit E may inhibit cell division (which is why it may help to prevent or slow the growth of cancer) and I think it's quite frankly insane to give that to pregnant women OR to men who need to be able to make lots of cells dividing fast. We don't know how any of this works and I think you guys should stick with the amount in a prenatal/diet only.

    Atomic, does taking baby aspirin or drinking pomegranate juice help any in thickening lining? I've seen some people online saying it helped them, but I'm worried about adding in anything out of the ordinary for me. I truly believe this is the reason I'm not getting pregnant. I dealt with it during pregnancy of DD2 and that was 6 years ago - sure age and time only makes it worse. Is there anything "natural" I can be doing on my end?

    Also ladies, I'd like to have my OB run labs on my estrogen and progesterone levels. I am thinking back to my pregnancies with both DD's and had to take progesterone very early in my pregnancies as my levels were also very low at the time. I believe I might have low estrogen and progesterone levels, which is affecting my cycles (they're all over the place) and lining. Do you know when the best time in the cycle to check those levels would be? Many thanks!

    I'm going through ivf and have been drinking pomegranate juice almost daily, along with 3-4 Brazil nuts and an avocado. Well, I've just been told that my lining is too thick! [emoji23] I'd say try it! I've also been doing castor oil packs on the area every other day.

    Your body is always trying to fix things. What you need to do is eat more animal fats like those found in full fat dairy and calories and get some rest and allow your body to do what it does naturally. If it gets bad enough you need estrogen support.

    Trust me, if any of these "miracle" fixes worked, there would not be websites full of infertile women.

    People do something and something happens and then they assume that X caused Y to happen but it's all just coincidence. Only people who benefit from aspirin are those with proven clotting issues. if you don't have that, then your blood may be too thin and it's been linked to both health issues for you and possibly higher rate of miscarriage.

    If you want to do some pom juice that is totally up to you. It is not a miracle drink though.

    That is not why your lining is too thick. Having too thick a lining with IVF medicine happens to people because of the effects of the medication.

    They will advise you when to come in for those tests.

    Thanks, atomic - makes perfect sense! Really wish I would have started trying earlier...hindsight is always 20/20!
