I know the triple stripe lining is always said to be important, but I wonder just how much the lack of it actually does hinder my chances? I have always had a lining of 10 or more, but have never had a triple stripe lining. What are my chances (all other things being good, for this question)?

The data I have found are that the endometrium has to be greater than 7 mm thick, and nit bright. It can be the so called triple stripe or even the same echo pattern as the uterine wall.
Good luck.

Oh, no. I'm obtuse. What does "nit bright" mean?
Thank you in advance!

I'm sorry, that was my typo. It should be "not bright". If the endometrium has been exposed to progesterone, it will appear bright on the ultrasound exam.
