Can high levels of estrogen stop you getting pregnant?
As it holds the egg in place as the estrogen thickens the walls of the uterus as estrogen is produce in the follicle on production of an egg for fertilisation. If the egg is not fertilised then the estrogen levels fall, allowing a woman to dispel the egg as the lining thins out which in turns brings on the mentrual cycle. Therefore it plays an important part in releasing the egg and holding it in place to be fertilised.
What happens when an egg is fertilizied?
It starts a series of divisions and differentiation leading to the formation of a fetus.
What do estrogen and progetrogen do?
Progesterone counteracts the dangerous effects of excess estrogen in the body. I'm not 100% on what estrogen does, but I know birth control works by tricking the body into thinking it's already pregnant so you stop ovulating. That might be where the estrogen comes into play.
What is the relationship between estrogen levels and the LH surge in the menstrual cycle?

Why does a womens uterus thicken?
Progestrone causes the uterine lining to thicken in preparation of a fertilized egg. If no egg is fertilized, the thick lining is shed as a menstrual cycle.
What triggers menstruation the occur?
Menstruation is triggered by a drop in estrogen and progesterone levels, which signals the shedding of the uterine lining. This drop in hormone levels occurs when an egg released during ovulation is not fertilized. The decrease in hormone levels causes the blood vessels in the uterus to constrict, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining, resulting in menstruation.
Can you get pregnant with low estrogen levels?
I just had a failed IVF cycle and they noticed that two days prior to my egg retrieval my estrogen level plummeted. They are contributing this to possibly being the reason for the failed attempt. I have read a few things that suggest estrogen is important for the embroy to adhere to the uterus lining.
How are events in the menstrual cycle triggered by the body?
The menstrual cycle is primarily regulated by hormones produced by the ovaries and the pituitary gland in the brain. At the beginning of the cycle, the brain releases hormones that stimulate the ovaries to start producing estrogen. As estrogen levels rise, it triggers the release of an egg from the ovary (ovulation) and prepares the uterus for a potential pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, leading to menstruation.
What does estrogen do during the menstrual cycle?
Estrogen causes the lining of the uterus to thicken in preparation for receiving a fertilized egg.
Which hormones are at their highest levels in the blood when the uterine lining is the thickest?
Estrogen and progesterone are at their highest levels in the blood when the uterine lining is the thickest. These hormones play a crucial role in thickening the endometrium, preparing it for potential implantation of a fertilized egg.
