When do you stop taking estradiol?

in Pregnant after IF
I am 6 weeks and was wondering when your RE had you stop estradiol? I just got kind of freaked out because I was reading the paperwork that comes with the Rx and it is repeated over and over that you should not take it while pregnant, but my doc never said to stop taking it.
me: 30 DH: 33 Married since 7-20-2012
SMI
IUI w Clomid fail 9/13
started first IVF cycle Menopur and Follistim 10/13
ER 11/4/13

5dt 1 blast 5 frozen 11/9/13. 9 day wait w progesterone (Crinone gel) 11/18 BFP! 30 11/20 down to 10 11/22 MC confirmed. 12/11-FET # 1: 2 5 day blasts 12/20: BFP!

    I stopped at 8w, if you did a fet you have to take it until the placenta can take over :)

    Yup, I stopped at about 10 weeks too.

    I think it's totally normal to be on the supplemental estrogen even if the RX says not too. Remember that regardless of a fresh or frozen cycle, they suppressed and/or controlled your hormones so your body didn't produce any or enough of certain hormones at key points.
