Lack of progesterone causes infertility, mood swings, menstrual irregularities, and increased risk of miscarriage and menopausal symptoms due to hormonal imbalance.
Progesterone is a very crucial hormone in fertility. It is the hormone secreted by the ovaries that helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy and maintain it. Percent (form of progesterone) is given as a medicine in cases of infertility to support the uterus in preparing itself for the pregnancy and to prevent the abortions in some cases. It is also used to prevent premature labor.
