Happy #PharmPhriday!

#Hormones can be confusing, so let’s break down some of their functions, starting with progesterone. One important role is maintaining a pregnancy (hence why #mifepristone, a progesterone blocker, is an #abortion drug).

#Progesterone can be administered intramuscularly (in oil, PIO) or vaginally; oral has been shown to be less effective.

If you don’t want a daily 💉🍑 through 1st trimester, talk to your doc about vaginal progesterone! #OBGynodon #Fertility #Infertility #IVF
