Progesterone for Miscariage Prevention & Pregnancy

PROGESTERONE THERAPY FOR PREGNANCY 🤰

Dr. Katharina Dalton, a long-time advocate for women’s health worked in the trenches with women experiencing PMS (she actually coined the term “PMS” too!). 

She observed that her patients with PMS had a higher tendency to miscarry, have premature babies, and have babies that were lower in IQ.

Dr. Dalton was also one of the pioneers in using Progesterone therapy to support her patients. And when she did, she observed that it helped prevent miscarriage, premature delivery, and resulted in higher IQ. For example, older siblings had an IQ of ~90 and the Progesterone babies had an IQ of ~130.

Progesterone is important for implantation, placental development, brain development, and much more during pregnancy.
