Many people don’t realise how important progesterone is in early pregnancy. 🌱

Progesterone hormone is produced by the ovaries once the egg has been released. Progesterone helps prepare and stabilise the lining of the womb, supports implantation, and reduces contractions in early pregnancy. It is often called the “pregnancy support hormone”.

Progesterone supplementation is recommended in certain situations. It is commonly used in fertility treatments.

NICE guidance supports its use in women with early pregnancy bleeding and a history of miscarriage. Research shows that it can improve the chances of continuing pregnancy in these cases.* 📊

Please remember, Progesterone can help, but it is not for everyone. It should always be used under proper medical guidance. 🩺

We’ve explained when progesterone is helpful, what to expect, and when to seek support.

Many people assume severe period pain is just “bad periods.”

But sometimes it can be a sign of , a common condition that affects around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK.

For some, it can also affect fertility. In fact, 30 to 50 percent of women with endometriosis may experience difficulty conceiving. It is important to remember that difficulty does not mean impossibility. Many women with endometriosis still conceive naturally, and when support is needed, treatments such as laparoscopic (occasionally open) surgery or IVF/ICSI can help improve the chances of conception. 🌼

March is , a reminder of why recognising symptoms of endometriosis and seeking early advice matters. 💛

At JIVA Fertility, we encourage individuals to listen to their bodies. Persistent pelvic pain, heavy periods, pain during sexual in*******se, ongoing fatigue, or trouble conceiving should not be ignored.

Early diagnosis and personalised treatment can help improve fertility outcomes. 🌱

We have explained how endometriosis can affect fertility and the options available for diagnosis and management of endometriosis-associated infertility. Checkout the full blog in the comments.

Ovulation plays a key role in your journey to pregnancy. 💛

If your menstrual periods are regular, your body is often following a natural rhythm and you are likely to be ovulating (ovaries releasing the egg) regularly. But if your cycles are irregular, infrequent, or unpredictable, it may be a sign that ovulation isn’t happening consistently.

The reassuring news? Many ovulation-related concerns are treatable. Early evaluation with right support and guidance can make a meaningful difference in improving your chances of conceiving.

If you have concerns about ovulation, Consultants at JIVA Fertility are here to support you with compassionate, personalised care.
