Progesterone is a hormone that is linked to fertility. It is a type of steroid hormone, in the class of hormones called progestogens.
Commonly known as a "female hormone", progesterone has an important role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. However, it is also found in males and is just as important.
In the female body, the function of progesterone is to prepare the endometrium for a possible pregnancy during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. It does this by thickening the uterus lining and inhibiting the contraction of smooth muscles of the uterus. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone levels decrease when the corpus luteum breaks down.
However, if an egg is fertilised and pregnancy follows, progesterone is still released. Once the placenta develops, this also releases progesterone, which causes elevated levels throughout pregnancy, inhibiting the body from releasing more eggs.
In a male body, progesterone still plays an important role. Progesterone has a role in helping sperm development. This "female hormone" also blocks the effects of oestrogen in the male body, and so actually preserves masculinity.
Unfortunately, some bodies struggle to make enough progesterone, which can have negative effects. In women, low progesterone symptoms include:
If you are trying to get pregnant, low progesterone can make it hard to conceive and make miscarriages more likely.
