CD 2,257

Oh okay, not that bad, but it feels like I have been taking estrogen for. ever.

Things aren't looking too good for this cycle. After 20+ days on estrogen, my lining is... 6.9, a.k.a. "real skimpy". Giving it a few more days, then we'll probably cancel this cycle. I could pay $200 for some hits of Viagra and shove them up my hoo-ha, but I could also roll up $200 in cash and shove it up there with probably as much benefit (i.e., evidence is spotty for the use of sildenafil to improve endometrial linings).

I've never had lining problems before, so I can only think that

1) This is a fluke

2) My body simply doesn't like exogenous estrogen.

If I think it's option 1), we can just cancel this cycle and try again next cycle. If I think it's 2), we can cancel this cycle and try again with a natural cycle. That means some fairly harrowing monitoring/wondering/waiting/seething. But there's going to be monitoring and waiting anyway,  And at least I wouldn't be crazy on hormones. I'd be crazy all on my own.

If anyone has any experiences or insight into this, please do share.
