Progesterone TreatmentProgesterone is primarily used to promote fertility in women with low blood Progesterone levels. Low Progesterone levels make the tissue lining the uterus thinner and less nutrient-rich than is required for implantation by the fertilized egg and growth of the embryo. Progesterone treatment after ovulation can make the uterine lining thicker and more suitable for implantation to occur. Progesterone is also needed during pregnancy for normal fetal development and to relax the uterus. Progesterone supplements may therefore be prescribed for several weeks during early pregnancy, up until the placenta is well formed and is able to produce sufficient Progesterone to meet the needs of the growing fetus. Progesterone SupplementsProgesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries that helps maintain a normal menstrual cycle. By preparing the lining of the uterus for implantation by the embryo, Progesterone also plays a critical role in maintaining the early weeks of a pregnancy. At approximately the eighth week of a normal pregnancy, the placenta takes over the role of producing Progesterone for the remainder of the pregnancy. Progesterone helps relax the muscles in the lining of the uterus, and also helps the breasts to develop in preparation for milk production after the birth of a baby. ProgesteroneProgesterone is a hormone found in human beings, and is derived from cholesterol. In women, Progesterone is helps maintain a normal menstrual cycle and plays an important role during pregnancy. In both women and men, Progesterone is a precursor of testosterone and estrogen. Progesterone is primarily produced by the adrenal glands. Smaller amounts are also produced in the ovaries following ovulation, by the brain, and by the placenta during pregnancy. Progesterone CreamsProgesterone is a female hormone that plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. It plays a balancing role with estrogen, and if not present in adequate amounts in the body, may predispose a woman to certain types of breast and uterine cancer. With the onset of menopause, the ovaries produce less progesterone. Natural ProgesteroneNatural Progesterone is derived from natural sources, such as plants. Many health food stores and Internet sites sell Natural Progesterone compounds, or plants they are derived from such as wild yams, soy and fenugreek, with various claims to reduce menopausal symptoms. However, Progesterone from these plants is actually in a precursor form called diosgenin. It needs to be metabolized into active Progesterone before it exerts any of its hormonal effects. Human beings are unable to convert diosgenin into active progesterone. However, this conversion can take place in the laboratory, and the resulting active compound is still marketed as natural progesterone. Progesterone LevelsIn women who are not pregnant, Progesterone prepares the endometrium, or lining of the uterus, for implantation by the fertilized egg. Progesterone Levels are lowest during menstruation, and remain low up until ovulation. This is the point approximately midway through a normal menstrual cycle when an egg is released from one follicle in the ovary. After releasing the egg, the follicle is known as the corpus luteum, and begins producing increasing levels of Progesterone.
