In the early stages of pregnancy, many pregnant women may experience various pregnancy reactions. Don't worry, these reactions are very normal. But one thing to note is the level of progesterone during pregnancy. Some pregnant women find that their progesterone levels are low after examination, so they may worry about whether they will have a miscarriage. So, what should be done if progesterone levels are below 30?
Firstly, go to the hospital for relevant examinations, as poor embryonic development or ectopic pregnancy can lead to low progesterone levels. Endocrine disorders can also cause a decrease in progesterone secretion from the corpus luteum, and sometimes physiological decline may also occur. After identifying the cause, medication or progesterone injection can be used to increase progesterone levels, and protein rich foods such as soy based foods can be eaten more in daily diet.
Secondly, progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum of the human ovary before pregnancy, and gradually decreases after pregnancy. The formation of the placenta gradually replaces the secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum of the ovary. Progesterone is an essential substance during pregnancy, which can ensure the safety of fetal growth and inhibit uterine contractions. Low progesterone levels may lead to abnormal fetal development or luteal function.
Finally, the progesterone level fluctuates greatly in the early stages of pregnancy, and remains relatively stable in the middle stages of pregnancy. If there are occasional slightly lower progesterone levels, there is no need to worry. The progesterone level at this time does not indicate that the baby is not developing properly. Therefore, when a pregnant woman is found to have low and consistently low levels of progesterone, she should undergo a follow-up examination to see if HCG is normal, avoid impatience, and maintain a calm mood.
