How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a vital role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's the hormone produced by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and helps maintain it during gestation. Folgest 200mg Tablet, which contains progesterone, is used in cases of infertility to support the uterine environment, preparing it for potential pregnancy and preventing abortion in some cases. It also serves as a preventative measure against premature labor.
