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.
