    yup - what megsmum said - up until the placenta takes over at around the 10 week mark, the pregnancy is supported by a corpus luteum. if you have an insufficient corpus luteum (or a medicated FET with no O at all), the hormones are supplemented with the progynova. by 12 weeks, your placenta is fully functioning and able to support the pregnancy adequately

    Dusty: I third what has been said, your placenta should have kicked in well and truly now to produce all the hormones needed. It feels scary though after having meds for so long to go "cold turkey" they are almost a bit of a security blanket.

    I stopped at 10 weeks - as the others have said it is around that time that the placenta takes over supporting the baby.

    It was a scary time for me stopping the progynova and the pessaries - they were definitely my security blanket, but your body has taken over the full function of supporting the pregnancy by that time.

    Great to hear that all is going so well.

    Thanks everyone

    I had not given the oestrogen much thought and then bam FS says go off it completely. Kelly, Janie that security blanket was protecting alot of nakedness

    Well it looks like the placenta is doing well with my progesterone levels so I wont worry about the oestrogen any more.

    I still learn stuff no matter how long I've been doing this!
    Thanks again

    good luck dusty, must be a bit scary going off the stuff, but now it's your bodies turn. i am sure us women are worriers and it doesn't stop.
    hope all continues fine and in no time at all baby will be here.
