When Should I Start Using Progesterone Cream for Fertility?

Image
The progesterone in a progesterone cream mimics the components of both ovulation and menstruation.   This progesterone production and the triggering of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that stimulates the corpus luteum in the ovaries may increase the production of more progesterone. One of the main actions of progesterone with fertility is to help support a developing embryo.  The best time to start using our progesterone cream for fertility help is as soon as it's discovered progesterone levels are low.    If infertility is an issue, please use the above information in concert with your health care practitioner.    This is also an important FAQ we address with many others at  https://www.felicityorganics.com/faqs Felicity Organics website at  https://www.felicityorganics.com      A list of PRs on our google sheet can be seen at  progesterone cream  tab

Will Progesterone Stop My Period?

Image
Supplementing with progesterone is not going to start or stop your period. Progesterone is a hormone that normally rises AFTER ovulation. In fact, there is the potential for progesterone to prevent ovulation because it can suppress the hormones needed to get a follicle growing. The menstrual cycle occurs in three phases: the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase. On the first day of your cycle, which is the first day of your period, progesterone levels are low.  During the middle of the luteal phase, progesterone levels soar to an average of 25mg daily.   This signals the uterine lining to shed.  Except if progesterone levels don’t reach the ideal level, irregular periods or spotting can occur.  This is also an important FAQ we address with many others at  https://www.felicityorganics.com/faqs Felicity Organics website at  https://www.felicityorganics.com      A list of PRs on our google sheet can be seen at  progesterone cream  tab
