Why is the corpus luteum important to reproduction?
The corpus luteum is important to reproduction because it produces hormones such as progesterone, which are necessary to maintain the uterine lining and support early pregnancy. If fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum continues to produce hormones until the placenta takes over hormone production. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to a drop in hormone levels and the start of a new menstrual cycle.
What hormone maintains viability of the corpus luteum?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) maintains the viability of the corpus luteum in early pregnancy. hCG is produced by the developing placenta and signals the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone, which is essential for maintaining the uterine lining to support a pregnancy.
Is progesterone safe to take if you may be pregnant?
I MUST put progesterone cream on my belly twice a day for my first trimester and up to about 20 weeks or my body can sustain the pregnancy. My doctor is the one who put me on it after multiple miscarriages. The placenta does not take over making the progesterone until about 13 weeks and my body does not produce enough of it until then. My OB specializes in high risk and i also see a doctor in the antenatal unit at a local area hospital. It can hurt!!
