Estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels throughout pregnancy. Estrogen, progesterone, and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17α-OHP) levels during pregnancy in women. [ 1 ] The dashed vertical lines separate the trimesters .
The increased estrogen in pregnancy leads to increase corticosteroid-binding globulin production and in response the adrenal gland produces more cortisol. [5] The net effect is an increase of free cortisol. This contributes to insulin resistance of pregnancy and possibly striae. [5]

During the reproductive years of human females, levels of estradiol are somewhat higher than that of estrone, except during the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle; thus, estradiol may be considered the predominant estrogen during human female reproductive years in terms of absolute serum levels and estrogenic activity.
A low level of estrogen can lead to a non-conception cycle, and a high level of estrogen when LH is at its peak, can lead to lower live birth rates and other complications. [13] During pregnancy, estrogen plays a role in supporting placentation through the modulation of angiogenic factor expression. [13]
Hormone levels with 2 mg oral micronized estradiol valerate tablets (Progynova, Schering) taken 3 or 4 times per day (6–8 mg/day total) sublingually (SL) in premenopausal women. [6] [7] Time of blood collection after medication administration was not specified. [6] [7] Sources: Serhal et al. (1989, 1990). [6] [7]
[20] [29] [30] Estrogen and progesterone levels increase dramatically, [20] reaching levels by late pregnancy that are several hundred-fold higher than usual menstrual cycle levels. [31] Estrogen and progesterone cause the secretion of high levels of prolactin from the anterior pituitary , [ 32 ] [ 33 ] which reach levels as high as 20 times ...
Estetrol is a major estrogen in the body. [1] [2] In contrast to estrone and estradiol, estetrol is a native estrogen of fetal life. Estetrol is produced exclusively by the fetal liver [1] and is found in detectable levels only during pregnancy, with relatively high levels in the fetus and lower levels in the maternal circulation.
