Pregnant women with low progesterone, some are caused by poor luteal function, some are caused by poor development of the fetus itself, the former can be appropriate oral progesterone treatment under the guidance of a doctor, the latter does not recommend blindly supplementing the progesterone, can go with the flow or take abortion.
Maternal luteal function is not good, can cause progesterone level is too low, such as the development of the gestational sac in line with the gestational weeks, it is recommended to take oral progesterone, such as progesterone capsules or dextroprogesterone tablets, etc., the specific method of taking medication to comply with the doctor’s instructions. Most pregnant women take timely medication, the fetus can develop normally, and can last until the full term of pregnancy.
Pregnant women with low progesterone are also associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities, exogenous supplementation of progesterone in this case is not effective, progesterone or dydrogesterone tablets can temporarily increase the blood progesterone, but the maintenance time is short, and the fetus will ultimately be aborted.
If the blood HCG doubling is not good, the development of the gestational sac and the gestational week has obvious inconsistency considered for this situation, it is recommended to let nature take its course, waiting for natural abortion, or take surgical abortion and other termination of pregnancy.
Therefore, low progesterone levels should not be supplemented blindly, but should be further examined blood HCG, ultrasound, etc. to find the cause. If you need to supplement progesterone, you may experience dizziness and loss of appetite after taking the medication, but most of the symptoms are mild, and you should avoid sex, avoid exertion, and pay attention to rest during the treatment period.
