progestational
Preparing for implantation
Progestational describes effects related to progesterone, the hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and maintains it.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing hormonal changes, contraceptives, or fertility treatments: progestational agents, progestational phase of the menstrual cycle.
Progestational drugs mimic progesterone's effects on the uterine lining.
