When you hear the word “progesterone”, the hormone’s role in fertility treatments may be the first thing that comes to mind. After all, it’s “pro” “gest.” Get it? However, progesterone is not just for women trying to conceive—it also has a critical role in the management of other conditions that affect women throughout their lives. …
