After pregnancy, women need to test the levels of HCG and progesterone. If the progesterone level is within the normal range, it indicates that the fetus is healthy and not prone to miscarriage. If the progesterone level is relatively low, it may be caused by unhealthy fetal conditions or insufficient luteal function in pregnant women. So, is the value of progesterone different every day?
The progesterone levels of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy vary from day to day, and as the fetus grows, the progesterone levels also increase. Even at the same time, if two blood draws are made, the progesterone level is different, indicating that the progesterone level is constantly changing. Of course, as long as the progesterone level is within the normal range, there will be no problem.
The value of progesterone reaches its peak at 8 weeks of pregnancy and gradually decreases thereafter. If the progesterone level in pregnant women rises slowly before 8 weeks, it may be due to slow fetal development or fetal arrest. In addition, if the luteal function of pregnant women is insufficient, it can also lead to slow growth of progesterone, which needs to be checked in a timely manner.
If progesterone is not sufficient and it is not a fetal problem, it is necessary to supplement progesterone in a timely manner. Progesterone can be taken orally or injected. In addition, pregnant women can eat more food with high estrogen, such as drinking more yellow soybean milk, pay attention to maintaining a good attitude, and do not give themselves too much psychological pressure.
