What happens to progesterone levels during Lactogenesis 1?

  1. They increase

  2. They remain the same

  3. They decrease

  4. They fluctuate

The correct answer is: They increase

During Lactogenesis 1, which is the process when the milk production begins, progesterone levels in the body typically decrease. This decrease is essential for establishing a proper balance of hormones that support milk production and breastfeeding. The reduction in progesterone levels allows prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production, to exert its effects without being inhibited by high progesterone levels. Therefore, the correct answer is that progesterone levels decrease during Lactogenesis 1.
