Low hormone levels and suppliments

[ashlou86]

Has anybody used oestrogen supplements throughout their whole pregnancy due to otherwise having low hormone levels? I'm supposed to stop them at 12 weeks but worried as my body doesn't produce this on it's own. Is it needed for a successful pregnancy? Last time I lost a baby at 13 weeks and trying to do all I can to prevent this from happening again! Doc has agreed that I can take progesterone for the whole pregnancy.

Never been in this situation so can’t really advise. I don’t blame you for wanting to make sure everything is going to be ok this time because of what happened last time. It’s good that you can continue with the progesterone. Do they not think continuing with oestrogen will be necessary? Could you get your levels checked on a regular basis? Wishing you luck with it all xx

I've not got this far but can understand your worries.

If you need the meds and Dr is ok with it then that's good and will hopefully put your mind at ease.
