Necessary for pregnancy
In addition to being an important part of a healthy immune system, some white blood cells named macrophages are essential for pregnancy to take place. These components can be found mostly in the tissues of women’s reproductive systems. They help with the growth of blood vessel networks inside the ovary, which plays a key play for the production of the progesterone hormone. Progesterone is needed for the implantation of embryos in your uterus. A low count of macrophages will lead to lower levels of progesterone and insufficient embryo implantation. [2]
