Which hormone (s) drop during menstruation?
Question
Which hormone (s) drop during menstruation?
Solution
During menstruation, the levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone drop. These hormones are produced by the ovaries and are responsible for preparing the uterus for pregnancy. When pregnancy does not occur, the levels of these hormones decrease, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining, which is known as menstruation.

Although there is a clear menstrual pattern in fluid retention, the peak occurs at a time when estradiol and progesterone levels are low. Perhaps there is a lag of fluid dynamics in response to previous higher hormone levels. Fluid retention around flow was similar between anovulatory and ovulatory cycles (although we had few anovulatory cycles for this analysis); therefore self-perceived fluid retention/bloating is unlikely to be due to the actions of progesterone. Although our hormone sample size was modest, there is no indication of a relationship between pooled hormone levels of estradiol and progesterone and fluid retention scores.
