Progesterone May Be Key to Preventing Recurrent Early Miscarriage

Caption

Cyclin E staining of the endometrium from a patient's with recurrent pregnancy loss. On the left her endometrial gland is markedly positive (the brown staining) for glandular nuclear cyclin E staining, which is abnormal and is associated with early recurrent pregnancy loss. On the right is cyclin E staining from the same patient after she was treated with vaginal progesterone suppositories. Her endometrial glands are now negative (no brown staining), which is a normal finding. After this successful treatment she went on to have a normal pregnancy.
