Most Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What are estrogen and progesterone and what do they do?

A.   There are three different hormones in the function of estrogen, "estrone, estradiol and estriol."  While more than 90% of estrogen is made in the ovaries, smaller quantities are produced by the adrenal glands, liver, kidneys and body fat. Estrogen is necessary for the growth and development of breasts, childbearing organs, including ovaries and the uterus.  It helps control a woman's menstrual cycle and is essential for reproduction.  Estrogen also supports our skin, heart and bones.

Progesterone, is also produced in the ovaries, it is the reproductive hormone most closely associated with pregnancy.  Under the guidance of progesterone, an egg leaves one of the ovaries and travels to the uterus through the fallopian tubes.  Progesterone orchestrates this cycle every month until the ovaries stop releasing eggs or we become pregnant.
