What is the use of taking progesterone after ovulation?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what the use of taking progesterone after ovulation is?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking progesterone during ovulation is for contraception. It is most effective when taken within twelve hours. The main side effect is interfering with the body's own endocrine system, which can cause the next menstrual period to come earlier or later. Generally, there are no other effects. In early pregnancy, this can potentially lead to a feeling of mild, in the lower abdomen. For such cases, if the pain is not severe and there is no bleeding, then it should be fine.
