Progesterone ( P4 ) is the major progestogen produced by the corpus luteum in all mammalian species.

Progesterone, similarly to androgens and estrogens through their own respective receptors, inhibits the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone ( FSH ) and luteinizing hormone ( LH ) via activation of the progesterone receptor as a form of negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal ( HPG ) axis in order to help prevent sex hormone levels from getting too high.

Progesterone itself is not generally used for this purpose as it can serve as a prohormone to the other sex steroids ( as it is their endogenous precursor ), and hence, conversely, has the potential to produce androgenic and / or estrogenic effects as well, especially at the relatively high doses at which are required for sufficient antigonadotropic activity to occur.

Progesterone enriches the uterus with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus.

Progesterone, often given in the form of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate, relaxes the uterine musculature, maintains cervical length, and has anti-inflammatory properties, and thus exerts activities expected to be beneficial in reducing preterm birth.
