    Hi Gizzmo, after ovulation the level of oestrogen drops dramatically and then starts to rise slowly. If pregnancy has not occurred, the the oestrogen level will drop again to a low level just before AF arrives. If pregnancy occurs then the oestrogen level will continue to rise.

    During pregnancy the oestrone and oestradiol level increase by about 100 times, and the oestriol level increase by about 1000 times. These oestrigens are responsible for stimulating the growth of the uterus and growth of the breasts among other things.

    I hope that has helped you
