MAINTAINING A HEALTHY PREGNANCY 10/06/2010
By SALLY LONGDEN
If you supplement with a natural progesterone cream, it dramatically improves your chances of falling pregnant and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. If you suffer from PMS, this is an indication that your body does not produce enough progesterone during your monthly cycle, so if you are trying to fall pregnant it is really important for you NOT to stop the progesterone until a period starts which is the indication that you are not pregnant. If you suspect that you are pregnant DO NOT STOP the Naturone. A fertilised egg cannot survive and your body cannot sustain the new life without large quantities of progesterone. Add Comment Carlo Campagnoli, , Chiara Abbà, Simona Ambroggio and Clementina Peris. First published 24 October 2005 Unit of Endocrinological Gynecology,“Sant’Anna” Gynecological Hospital, Corso Spezia 60, 10126 Torino, Italy Abstract In the last two decades the prevailing opinion, supported by the “estrogen augmented by progesterone” hypothesis, has been that progesterone contributes to the development of breast cancer (BC). Support for this opinion was provided by the finding that some synthetic progestins, when added to estrogen in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal complaints, increase the BC risk more than estrogen alone. However, recent findings suggest that both the production of progesterone during pregnancy and the progesterone endogenously produced or exogenously administered outside pregnancy, does not increase BC risk, and could even be protective. The increased BC risk found with the addition of synthetic progestins to estrogen in HRT seems in all likehood due to the fact that these progestins (medroxyprogesterone acetate and 19-nortestosterone-derivatives) are endowed with some non-progesterone-like effects which can potentiate the proliferative action of estrogens. The use of progestational agents in pregnancy, for example to prevent preterm birth, does not cause concern in relation to BC risk.
