Progesterone

Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries, placenta, and adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in regulating various aspects of the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, progesterone prepares the endometrium (uterine lining) for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. If pregnancy occurs, progesterone helps maintain the uterine environment, supporting fetal development. It also influences other bodily functions, such as mood regulation and immune response.
