Another Cancelled Cycle :(

I feel like crap. Again my lining stalled at 4.4 ish. Again my blood levels were over 2000. My uterus will just not be manipulated.  I guess they can not increase the estrogen when my levels are so high. I have no idea what other options there are. I heard one surro took vaginal Viagra to help it thicken? I have never heard of that?  Googled and found:
Viagra is administered in the form of 20mg vaginal suppositories) inserted four times per day. Treatment is commenced soon after menstruation ceases and is continued until the day of the hCG trigger (when used with ovarian stimulation, the day of the LH surge (in natural cycles or, until the commencement of progesterone in ¡°embryo recipient cycles ¡°(ovum donation, FET¡¯s, gestational surrogacy and embryo adoption). While ideally the treatment should be sustained throughout the first half of the cycle, most women will respond within 48-72 hours, such that Viagra can be used to ¡°rescue¡± a poor lining provided that there is enough time remaining prior to ovulation, egg retrieval or progesterone administration. and also: We recently demonstrated that the vaginal administration of sildenafil (Viagra) for several days prior to the “hCG trigger “ or progesterone administration enhances uterine blood flow and estrogen delivery to the uterine lining, and so improves endometrial thickening. In October 2002, we reported on the administration of vaginal Viagra to 105 women with repeated IVF failure due to persistently thin endometrial linings. All of the women had experienced at least two (2) prior IVF failures attributed to intractably thin uterine linings. About 70% of these women responded to treatment with Viagra suppositories with a marked improvement in endometrial thickness.
So I will be suggesting this when I next talk to NEFI. S&S have not emailed me back nor has my agency. I feel like they are looking at me negatively :( I feel like they must be talking about whether or not to continue to use me as a surrogate or not. Man does this just suck.

My agency wrote me back. She definitely doesnt sound like she is looking at me any differently which is good. I told her about the viagra. Maybe it will be a magic pill for me too :)  or maybe there is something wrong with me and I will not get to continue this match. I really think a different protocol will work better for me. I just wish NEFI saw that too. :(
