Falling in Love – The Story of Progesterone

Progesterone is produced as a tablet. This is a steroid tablet and is used as a drug to go “high”—anabolics.
But what is the real implication of this drug in our lives? We need to know more.

Biological Role of Progesterone:
I do not intend to focus more on this perspective of progesterone, which is well-established and is very well known to many of us. In a nutshell, the role of progesterone has the following physiological effect every month in a successful ovulatory cycle:
1. The secretion of eggs stimulates the follicle cells by the lutenizing hormone to secrete less progesterone and oestrogen. This continues until successful ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum.
2. The corpus luteum starts to secrete progesterone. This is to aid in the preparation of the uterus to receive this egg in a bed of tissue that will provide an anchor for the development of the baby with enough blood supply, oxygen, and nutrients.
3. The progesterone secretion continues until the peak is reached and the egg is received. If the egg is fertilised, the secretion of progesterone will continue. If not, the unfertilized egg will stimulate the inhibition of progesterone and oestrogen secretion, leading to bleeding and the discharge of disintegrated tissues in the uterine lining.
These are the 3 primary roles of progesterone in the biological cycle.
The following chart displays the levels of hormones as monthly cycles:
This is true as to why and what people are doing, and it will have an implication on the monthly synchronised cycles of an individual\\\’s biology by doping with modus. PLEASE STOP!!!
Copulatory Behavioural Role of Twin Hormones:
Esterogen: Oestrogens are known to do the following: increase female willingness to approach a male; increase the attractiveness of the female; and \\\”prime\\\” for progesterone.
Progesterone: Progesterone has a dual role: in small amounts, this will increase and supplement oestrogen activity to increase sexual receptivity to men and libido effects during sexual intercourse; while continued use of progesterone will increase the tendency to reject sexual activity and indulge in nurturing the developing baby if pregnant. If you are not pregnant, this is when the contraindications of prolonged abuse of progesterone tablets will be effective.
Common contraindications of progesterone include fatigue, dizziness, and an increased appetite. There may be more severe and serious symptoms like breakthrough bleeding, menstrual cramps, bloating caused by water weight gain, moodiness, nausea, irritability, and tiredness. They mimic PMS but are not PMS. Very rare symptoms will include fainting, depression, severe headaches, vision problems, breast tenderness, and trouble sleeping. Stroke, blood clots, and heart attacks are very rare effects.
Progesterones have the ability to inhibit bleeding, while oestrogens stimulate bleeding and increase bleeding levels. This is why progesterones are used to treat people with heavy bleeding or abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).
Needless to say, without an active sexual life, the use of these hormone tablets, especially the doses of \\\”birth control pills,\\\” is not recommended for contraindications. This is because the sexual activity by itself will arouse umpteen physiological elicitations in the body that may, in turn, have an implication in reducing the side effects of these tablets.
Needless to say, please do not use these tablets without an appropriate health practitioner\\\’s consultation and use them only for yourself. This is why these are Schedule H drugs, or prescription drugs that must be sold only with a prescription and administered by the physician only after consulting the patient in a proper manner.

Women’s Web Is Saying Goodbye!

Women's Web

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,

You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.

When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
