Understanding Progesterone
The hormone progesterone is a pivotal hormone in the endocrine system of women. Progesterone is produced by the ovary once ovulation has taken place during the menstrual cycle. Progesterone is vitally important for reproduction, regulation of the menstrual cycle and for providing a balance to the stimulatory effects of estrogens. When women do not produce sufficient progesterone the changes that result can severely disrupt the quality of life of those affected. Mood changes, anxiety, depression, weight gain, irregular periods, headache, migraine, infertility, miscarriage, PMS, post natal depression, endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are some of the medical conditions that can arise as a result of reduced progesterone production.

This website explains the role of progesterone in the female body and how many aspects of a woman’s quality of life can be affected by inadequate progesterone production. These are summarized in the Progesterone booklet displayed opposite.
