Bioidentical doctors have been recommending progesterone for years to help fertility and to reduce the risk of miscarriage. Now NICE agrees.
Miscarriage can occur for a number of reasons, but certainly having low progesterone levels increases the risk.
The BBC News site commented on the importance of progesterone for prevention of miscarriage, and they are right.
For the majority of women this is thankfully short lived and restoring progesterone levels after birth is helpful but a surprisingly high proportion may be at risk of future depression.
The sudden drop in progesterone after giving birth can lead to the ‘baby blues’ but could you have inherited it from your mother and what can you do about it?
Many women suffer ‘baby blues’ after giving birth, but a new study reveals a surprisingly high number of them actually have postpartum depressive symptoms.
When deciding to have a family it is not always an easy or automatic process. Women need to have good levels of natural progesterone to conceive and to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
