Progesterone Memes

Someone brilliantly repurposed a menstrual cycle diagram into the ultimate pop culture reference! The meme takes the hormonal rollercoaster that is the menstrual cycle and overlays it with the iconic Marilyn Monroe quote "If you don't love me at my [worst], then you don't deserve me at my [best]." The FSH and estrogen low points represent the "don't love me" phase while the progesterone peak represents the "don't deserve me" phase. It's basically female reproductive biology throwing shade with celebrity quotes. The uterus is literally having mood swings and calling everyone out on their conditional support!

The ultimate reproductive alliance! This meme captures the temporary but powerful team-up between the corpus luteum and placenta - the reproductive system's most crucial handshake. The corpus luteum produces progesterone early in pregnancy until the placenta develops enough to take over hormone production. It's basically a hormonal relay race where the baton is progesterone. Without this seamless transition, pregnancy couldn't continue - talk about pressure! The bottom panel reveals their shared mission: "functioning as endocrine structures temporarily." Biology's version of "I got you covered until you're ready to take over" - the ultimate workplace transition plan!
