Lesson 3: Progesterone Levels

Back in high school Biology, I learned that progesterone is the hormone that's necessary for a woman to sustain a pregnancy, but I didn't learn many details about it. Today I learned more details: Progesterone is the hormone that delays the shedding of the endometrium layer where the embryo implantation occurs. Low progesterone levels can lead to difficulties in having children and may lead to a miscarriage. I also learned that my body has low levels of progesterone. I wish I hadn't.
