Low Progesterone

The proper amount of natural progesterone is crucial for fertility and to a woman who is trying to become pregnant. Without adequate progesterone, the fertilized egg can be expelled.

Because progesterone is essential to prevent the premature shedding of the supportive secretory endometrium, a significant drop in progesterone levels or blockade of progesterone receptor sites during the first 10 - 12 weeks of pregnancy may result in the loss of the embryo (miscarriage).

There are more effects due to low progesterone hormones that can include any or all of the following symptoms:

Infertility/not ovulating
Early miscarriage
Carbohydrate cravings
Breast tenderness
Irregular periods

Ovarian cysts
Menstrual cramps
Puffiness/bloating
Water retention
Lower body temperature
