Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Progesterone in pregnancy Progesterone prepares the tissue lining of the womb (endometrium) to allow implantation, and stimulates glands in the endometrium to secrete nutrients for the early embryo.
Detailed explanation-2: -Low progesterone or luteal phase defect: Low progesterone and luteal phase defect may both make conception more difficult because they prevent the uterine lining from becoming “sticky” enough to sustain a healthy pregnancy. This can impact implantation or cause early miscarriage.
