The question
Hello,
My first IVF cycle with embryo adoption has been cancelled due to a thin endometrium as I have not responded well to the oestrogen medication (it was increased to 8mg of Progynova a day in combination with an estraderm patch in the last week). The clinic have said to do a new preparation but what can be done to increase the receptivity of the endometrium?
Previously I had endometrial cancer which was treated with high strength progesterone and the Mirena coil which was removed mid September of this year. I had repeated biopsies taken over two years - I'm concerned this might have damaged the endometrium. Before I was down regulated my endometrium had got to 5.4mm.
I'm concerned that it's a lost cause. Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks.
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
It is possible that the treatment of your endometrial cancer might have negatively impacted endometrial thickening in response to estrogen.
This having been said, I would need much more information in order to provide an authoritative response!
