View allI'm a bit concerned about my current situation. On the 14th day, my left follicle size is 2.1 cm, but my endometrium thickness is only 4.8 mm. My doctor advised waiting until the 16th day to see if the endometrium can reach 6 mm before we go ahead with IUI. Does this thickness seem too low for a successful IUI, and is this a common approach? Any advice or insights you can share would really help me understand what's happening.

Symptoms may appear after implantation. 2. _Hormonal changes_: Progesterone levels may not have surged enough to cause noticeable symptoms yet. 3. _Individual variation_: Every woman's body reacts differently to pregnancy hormones. _Continue with routine_ 1. _Medication adherence_: Keep taking your prescribed medications as directed. 2. _Light exercise_: Continue with gentle walks and avoid strenuous activities. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water and maintain a balanced diet. _When to expect symptoms_ 1. _6-10 days post ET_: Implantation occurs, and symptoms like mild cramping, spotting, or breast tenderness may appear. 2. _10-14 days post ET_: Pregnancy test (beta hCG) is usually done to confirm pregnancy. Stay calm, and remember that every pregnancy is unique. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and wait for your scheduled follow-up appointment.
