Doc put me on some progesterone support after my reports and im just trying to understand kyun. Nobody really explained properly at the clinic. Can someone tell in simple words what it actually does?
Honestly, progesterone is like the main hero of pregnancy, yaar! It prevents your body from rejecting the baby and keeps the lining thick. But it also causes all that annoying bloating and acidity, actually!
I totally understand how overwhelming all these hormone names can be when you are expecting. Progesterone is like a warm, protective blanket that holds your sweet baby safe inside the womb. It is so essential for keeping the pregnancy strong.
Progesterone supports the pregnancy lining, but if your doctor has prescribed progesterone tablets or injections, please take them on time. Never stop or start hormone medicines without checking with your gynac first.
My doctor put me on progesterone supplements early on because my levels were slightly low. It basically relaxes the uterus so that it doesn't contract and keeps the pregnancy secure. It really helped me carry my baby safely till my scheduled C-section.
Progesterone is the main hormone that maintains the uterine lining to support the fetus. My doctor at the hospital explained this so well during my first trimester. If you have any doubts about your levels, just ask your gynac clearly in your next visit.
