How is progesterone beneficial for fertility and pregnancy?
Progesterone plays a crucial role in both fertility and pregnancy. It's the hormone produced by the ovaries that prepares the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg and maintains it during gestation. Wegagest Soft Gelatin Capsule (natural micronized progesterone) assists in preparing the uterus for pregnancy, preventing early abortions in certain cases, and helps prevent preterm labor.
