Doc started me on progesterone for some hormone issue and now im confused. Does this medicine actually help in conceiving or is it for something else? Just trying to understand na.
I totally understand why you are asking this, hormonal meds can be so confusing and scary to take. Progesterone is actually meant to support your body in keeping the baby safe, not to get you pregnant directly.
No, progesterone is just a hormone that supports your uterine lining. It's basically a supplement to help sustain a pregnancy, not something that initiates it.
When my doctor gave me progesterone, my MIL was so worried thinking it was some strong medicine. But it actually just helps in keeping the pregnancy safe, it is very common.
Actually, progesterone doesn't cause pregnancy by itself, but it creates a safe environment in the uterus for the baby to grow. It is usually prescribed by doctors to support the pregnancy and prevent any early complications.
Haha, I wish it was that simple! It won't make you pregnant, but if you're already expecting, it helps the baby stick—which is probably why my doc put me on it when I had my twins!
