HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin. Low progesterone and high HCG may be due to luteal dysfunction, ectopic pregnancy, preterm miscarriage and other reasons.
1. Luteal dysfunction: If the human chorionic gonadotropin is found to be doubled every other day during the examination, it mostly indicates that the embryo is developing well, but low progesterone value may be caused by luteal dysfunction.
2. Ectopic pregnancy: If the human chorionic gonadotropin is high during the examination but does not continue to double, and the progesterone value is relatively low, it mostly indicates the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
3. Pre-eclampsia: If the human chorionic gonadotropin is high, but the human chorionic gonadotropin decreases and the progesterone value is relatively low when the test is repeated, it means that there is a possibility of pre-eclampsia.
Human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone are measured in the early stages of pregnancy to determine the development of the embryo. If you have low progesterone and high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in time to determine the cause of your miscarriage after the doctor’s interview and the results of the relevant tests.
