ohh god help me !!:(
the ovary produces both estrogen and progesterone until production of these hormones is taken over by the placenta at approximately 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy. Estrogen and progesterone are critical hormones for the normal development of the endometrial lining of the uterus. Both medications are frequently used in patients undergoing a frozen embryo transfer (FET) or donor-egg IVF. Estrogen thickens the lining and then progesterone causes the lining to mature, ultimately allowing for the embryo’s implantation. Without these hormones, all FET cycles would have to be performed during spontaneous menstrual cycles (see Question 73) and donor-egg IVF would be possible only using frozen embryos, as there would be no way to synchronize the reproductive cycles of the donor and the recipient. There is no evidence that the estrogen used to synchronize these cycles presents any risk to the developing fetus or baby.Following the DES debacle, the U.S. government decided that all reproductive steroids should be labeled as being contraindicated in pregnancy. This mandate applies to both progesterone and estrogen compounds. Today, however, the estrogens and progesterones prescribed by fertility physicians are exactly equivalent to the body’s own natural estrogen and progesterone produced by the ovary and by the placenta. Women who are prescribed these medications by their physician can take them without any worry that somehow these medications will have an adverse impact on their unborn children.
i hope this info will proof useful to u
