Before pregnancy. Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy. After ovulation occurs, the ovaries start to produce progesterone needed by the uterus. Progesterone causes the uterine lining or endometrium to thicken. This helps prepare a supportive environment in your uterus for a fertilized egg.
Ovulation is called the luteal stage, when the egg is released into the fallopian tube. After ovulation, progesterone levels go up for about five days before going back down. If pregnancy occurs, your progesterone levels will slowly rise from the ninth week of pregnancy until the 32nd week. The placenta will begin to make progesterone after 12 weeks to help your pregnancy stay healthy.
