Patient's question:
I haven't had any sexual activity with my boyfriend. Last month, I took a month's supply of triptorelin. My last period was on October 10th, but this one hasn't arrived yet. The doctor at the hospital suggested I take a pregnancy test, but I'm still a virgin. I'm not sure whether I should take the test, so the doctor told me to wait a few more days.

Doctor's answer:
Progesterone is a natural progestogen secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary, which has a significant morphological effect on the estrogen-stimulated endometrium in the body and is essential for maintaining pregnancy.

After ovulation, the body normally secretes 20-30 mg of progesterone per day.
Progesterone is a hormone, and side effects are certainly possible.
1. Some women may experience irregular bleeding.
2. Occasionally, nausea, vomiting, and headaches may occur.
3. It has a certain androgenic effect, and prolonged use during pregnancy may lead to masculinization of the female fetus.
