A progesterone of 16.8 at 8 weeks of pregnancy is considered to be on the low side, which is more important and it is recommended to seek medical attention.
Generally speaking, when a woman is 8 weeks pregnant, the fetus is bigger at this time, and the value of progesterone in her body should be greater than 16.8, which belongs to the category of slightly low. If accompanied by abdominal pain, redness and other related symptoms, you need to be highly suspicious of the risk of miscarriage and embryonic arrest, so you need to pay attention.
Progesterone belongs to the more important hormones during pregnancy, and for pregnant women who have low progesterone themselves, they can cooperate with the doctor to carry out examinations, and if there is a deficiency of progesterone, if necessary, they can take oral progesterone capsules or dexedrine tablets and other medications to supplement progesterone, to prevent miscarriage and fetal arrest.
It is recommended that pregnant women who are 8 weeks pregnant should go to the hospital regularly for maternity checkups to understand the intrauterine development of the fetus, and should not blindly use medication on their own to avoid adverse effects.
