Weaning off Oestrogen after FET

Hi, I'm currently 8 weeks 1 day after a medicated FET. I was on fematab 2mg three times a day 4 days ago I had a scan and the nurse told me start weaning off oestrogen. I will be stopping it completely at 8 weeks 4 days. I'm staying on the progesterone until 13 weeks weaning down the dose in a few weeks time. I am just wondering if anyone else came off the oestrogen so early? I'm kind of scared to stop it as I'm reading different time lines for when the placenta takes over... any experience/advice appreciated. Thank you

I was told to stop the oestrogen when I was 8 weeks 2 days, I've been told to continue with the progesterone until 12 weeks, I'm currently 10 weeks 5 days. X
