Can passing hard stools cause a period?
At the time of a woman's menstrual periods, estrogen and progesterone levels are high and may cause constipation. High levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy also can cause constipation.
If the doctor took your blood to check progesterone levels what does that mean?
Progesterone is not pregnancy related. It is a hormone that increases in your blood prior and during your period. It means he is checking to see if you have ovulated that cycle. High progesterone levels indicate that you have ovulated. http://thefertilityshop.com
What does the corpus luteum serve?
A temporary endocine structure in mammals, involved in production of relatively high levels of progesterone and moderate levels of estradiol and inhibin A.
What happen to estrogen and progesterone levels just prior to menstruations?
Estrogen and progesterone levels begin to increase prior to mensuration.

If your daughters progesterone levels came out high but shes had no period whats that mean?
Progesterone levels usually start to elevate when an egg is released from the ovary, rise for several days, and then either continue to rise with early pregnancy or fall to initiate menstruation. If progesterone levels do not rise and fall on a monthly basis, a woman may not be ovulating or having menstrual periods. If levels do not rise normally during an early pregnancy, the pregnancy may be ectopic and/or may be failing. If serial measurements do not show increasing progesterone levels over time, there may be problems with the viability of the placenta and fetus. Levels of progesterone will be naturally higher during pregnancies that involve multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) than those in which there is only one fetus. Increased progesterone levels also are seen occasionally with luteal ovarian cysts, molar pregnancies, and with a rare form of ovarian cancer. Increased levels are occasionally due to an overproduction of progesterone by the adrenal glands.
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".
Is there still secretion on the day of ovulation if you get pregnant?
No, women do not ovulate stop during pregnancy (inhibited by high levels of estrogen and progesterone)
Does folic acid increase your progesterone levels?
Yes
Menstruation is triggered by a drop in the levels of?
estrogen and progesterone
What does progesterone stimulate?
Progesterone levels rise after ovulation to protect the fertilized egg and to prevent the uterine lining from shedding.
