13 Foods to Increase Progesterone

Progesterone is a sex hormone released from the ovaries that is vital for conceiving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. The hormone can be broken down as ‘pro’ meaning to promote and ‘gesterone’ meaning gestation or pregnancy. It is released from the corpus luteum which is the remains of the ovarian follicle which releases the ovum or egg. Progesterone has 2 different paths each month depending on fertilization and ovulation. If your ovulated egg is fertilized, then progesterone rises after ovulation to help thicken the uterine lining for pregnancy. If your egg does not become fertilized after ovulation, then progesterone peaks and then declines, because you do not need to prepare for pregnancy. The uterine lining will shed and become a period. Progesterone is also involved in breast development and breastfeeding. Problems can arise when progesterone levels are too low regardless if you are attempting to conceive. Certain foods contain nutrients to help increase progesterone in the body.

Hormone Changes During Your Cycle 

A healthy menstrual cycle is one of the best ways to determine fertility. Every month your body prepares for pregnancy by releasing an egg in hopes of fertilization to occur to start the pregnancy process. If this does not occur then the egg will be excreted along with the endometrium lining which is made up of tissue and blood. There are 4 main phases during the entire average 28-day cycle. During these phases, the hormone levels will change dramatically in order to do their job properly.

5 Ovulation Hormones

Ovulation is a crucial process when it comes to fertility. If you are ovulating every month, this indicates that you have healthy hormones and are most likely fertile. Ovulation occurs during the middle of your monthly cycle where a follicle within the ovary will mature and release an egg into the fallopian for fertilization. If the egg does not get fertilized it will be shed through the uterus as a period. The process seems simple, but in reality, ovulation is not innate because it relies heavily on specific hormone balance.
