Hi, Progesterone usually increases prior to a womans period and cause the period to arrive in some cases. Low progesterone may cause spotting but so does pregnancy.

How does progesterone play a role in a feedback mechanism?
"The corpus luteum synthesizes progesterone, estradiol, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone. The increased progesterone levels affect the thermoregulatory site in the hypothalamus and increase the core body temperature. Negative feedback from the increased release of estradiol and progesterone from the corpus luteum results in decreased serum LH and FSH levels in the luteal phase. If conception has not occurred, FSH levels increase again at the end of the luteal phase as the progesterone and estradiol levels decrease. The decrease in progesterone and estradiol levels results in shedding of the endometrium-i.e., menstruation. LH pulse frequency is high (90 minutes) and of low amplitude in the follicular phase. The pulse frequency and amplitude increase immediately before ovulation".
What do high levels of progesterone result in?
decreased levels of luteinizing hormone (LH)

How long do you take progesterone during pregnancy?
It depends on your levels. Typically, progesterone is taken from the very beginning of pregnancy (sometimes before) until about 12 weeks, when the placenta takes over the functions of the ovaries. Frequent blood draws will indicate when you can begin weaning off the progesterone.
What does progesterone stimulate?
Progesterone levels rise after ovulation to protect the fertilized egg and to prevent the uterine lining from shedding.
If you are spotting a week before your period what does that mean?
Well, its pretty simple. If you are spotting, you are spotting. If its your period you will be bleeding constantly. When womnen spot it is usually just spots of blood, not even enough that you have to where a pad or tampon. When on your period, you would not dare walk out with out one. Lastly,a period can last for maybe a week at the most, spotting can last on and off for ever.
