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".
Can low progesterone levels be the cause for pink spotting lasting for 2 days a week before the period is due?
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.

What happen to estrogen and progesterone levels just prior to menstruations?

What causes your period to stop hcg or progesterone?
Elevated levels of progesterone is what causes your period to stop, but hcg plays a role in that too, as it is the presence of hcg (from implanted embryo) that tells the corpus luteum to keep pumping out the progesterone after the normal luteal phase length. If there is no hcg detected the corpus luteum tapers down progesterone production after about 14 days and the endiometrial lining starts to break down when the progesterone no longer is present to support it.
What causes abnormal progesterone levels?

What happens to estrogen and progesterone levels just prior to menstruation?

When the progesterone level is 1.5 in a pregnant woman will it mean miscarriage?
Progesterone can be low for two different reasons. It can be predicting a failing pregnancy, or it can just be that your body is having a hard time producing it and you need a hormone supplement. 1.5 is a very low progesterone level. Most doctors like you to be no lower than 10. If you are bleeding or have any other miscarriage symptoms along with it, I am sorry to say, you may be miscarrying. Hopefully you are not, and the doctors can get you on a prescription ASAP. The best of luck to you! In the future, you can always have the doctor check your progesterone levels at a non-pregnancy time to rule out if you have a progesterone imbalance, or if your levels were just low because of a failing pregnancy.
What triggers menstruation the occur?
Menstruation is triggered by a drop in estrogen and progesterone levels, which signals the shedding of the uterine lining. This drop in hormone levels occurs when an egg released during ovulation is not fertilized. The decrease in hormone levels causes the blood vessels in the uterus to constrict, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining, resulting in menstruation.
What hormone causes miscarriage?
Progesterone
What do high levels of progesterone result in?
