I'll be 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow from a FET and my HCG numbers started off very low and weren't expected to progress as they have. Now I'm being told that my estrogen level is not as high as it should be - currently is 150 but should be at 200. The nurse told me that FET patients usually stop the estrogen tabs at 6 weeks but I'm told not to. She said it could mean that the pregnancy may not progress if I was to stop the tablets.

Has anyone else had to stay on the estrogen after 6 weeks? The nurse is now talking blighted ovum and making me feel like this journey is about to end. I have no idea whether continuing on support is normal or a bad sign (I'm also on prog pessaries) and if I should still brace myself for the worst.

Jenna,
I did a fresh cycle and am on estrogen support as well, which is a first for me. My fs told me that it will continue until 12 weeks.
I hope you are hanging in there okay, I know only too well how incredibly hard it is when you feel like you are in limbo land with a pregnancy!
