How does Buserelin work?
My lining was not thin enough following 14 days on 50 units of buserelin (6mm). I am now on a further week but given that my bleed stopped by the 14th, I am puzzled at how this will continue to thin the endometrium?

The thickness of endometrium is not the cornerstone of down-regulation success. It is rather the oestradiol level (blood test) which suggests your body response. If your response is not appropriate you may have offered different treatment protocol. Daily buserelin for 14 days is typically used in IVF treatment. There is no such a known optimal endometrium thickness used for stimulation start.
