Hi ladies,

This is my first post on the forum, I discovered it recently
My name is Christina and I am 25 weeks pregnant.
I did not conceive through IVF or FET, I have a history of recurrent m/cs and after my Reproductive Immunologist's recommendation I started estrogen supplementation at 4 weeks because of low estrogen until week 11.
I saw on the bottle that it "should not be taken in pregnancy", I asked my doctor and she said that this was for a older drug (DES) and it estrogen is safe in early pregnancy and in low dose.
The past days I did some research in forums and discovered that it is taken in FETs.
I have lost my sleep over taking estrogen with my pregnancy. I keep on having nightmares and can't sleep in the night.
If someone has taken it in their pregnancy and has any thoughts to share I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for listening,

Christina

I had a FET and took Estradiol (estrogen) prior to and for the first 11 weeks of pregnancy.

I took it in pregnancy for 8ish weeks...no problem. It is totally fine. Most all fertility patients take it. Good luck, you will be fine.
