Glossary Progesterone

hormone regulating menstrual cycle and supporting early pregnancy

Progesterone is a hormone produced mainly in the ovaries after ovulation and plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. It helps prepare the uterine lining for a fertilized egg to implant and supports early pregnancy by preventing muscle contractions in the uterus that could cause the body to reject the egg.
