View Profile | E-Mail | Endometrial Lining « on: 04/15/08, 13:11 » | Reply with quote I had a cycle cancelled last month and my RE said my lining didn't look good and that it looked "clunky". On day eight of stims it was 9.97mm. I had an endometrial biopsy  yesterday...he said that has been shown to help implantation. What should my lining have been and what can be found by doing an endometrial biopsy? Help! This is all so foreign to me! Report to moderator   Logged B. Jacobs, M. D.

Good luck.
