estrogen and progesterone questionsFrom: anneminke (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 13 Nov 1997 09:44:33 -0600 (CST)
This might be a dumb question, but I want to ask it anyway :-) When I had IVF treatment I got progesterone (Progestan) during the implantation phase. This would give the uterus a good lining and prepare it for the pregnancy. Now there seems to be an IUD which releases progesterone because this would prevent implantation. And furthermore I just learned from dr. Marchbein that estrogen-treatment is sometimes given after surgery of the uterus to speed up recovery of the tissue. I think I am totally confused by now!! What does progesterone do and what does estrogen do?
