How Important is Progesterone
Progesterone is probably one of the most important hormones in the endocrine system, if not THE most important. Progesterone pretty much runs the entire endocrine system. If any of the hormones are out of balance chances are the progesterone is out of balance too.
This is an analogy of how I like to compare what progesterone is and how it works. The hormones in the body are like a fine-tuned symphony. Each hormone is representing an instrument. If the hormones are in balance, then everything hums along (like instruments being in tune and making beautiful music). Progesterone can be compared to the cymbals. If progesterone is out of balance (from taking chemical hormones or other reasons) the cymbals are replaced by trash can lids.

It’s very important to stop progesterone cream usage for at least 5 to 7 days each month.

Progesterone helps maintain the pregnancy – keeping the uterine lining in-tact. Progesterone prevents certain miscarriages and helps to prevent preterm labor and premature birth later on in much the same way. But what if progesterone is deficient? What happens, unfortunately, is miscarriage, preterm labor and premature birth.
