Progesterone - you've probably heard of it, but do you really know what it is and why it's so darn important? Girl, let me break it down for you!
Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries in women and the testes in men. However, it plays a way bigger role in the female body.
🤔 But what does it actually do?
Well, progesterone is like the maestro conducting the hormonal symphony during the menstrual cycle. Its main jobs are:
👉 In other words, progesterone is an absolute MVP when it comes to female fertility and reproduction.
Now that you know what it is, let's talk about why progesterone matters so much:
✨ It helps regulate your period. Progesterone levels rise and fall throughout your cycle, triggering your period to start and stop. Without it, your flow would be one hot mess!
👶 It makes pregnancy possible. After ovulation, progesterone helps thicken the uterine lining to prepare for a fertilized egg. If pregnancy occurs, it maintains the uterine lining throughout gestation.
💆♀️ It provides balance. Progesterone works in tandem with estrogen to keep your hormones in harmony. When they're out of whack, you might experience issues like PMS, irregular periods, or infertility.
