A while ago, a friend was pregnant. She told me the news of pregnancy first. After congratulations, I suggested that she pay more attention to rest. After all, the embryos in the first trimester are still unstable. The next day, she went to the hospital for a blood test and measured progesterone. After she got the result, she sent me a WeChat. She is unhappy because progesterone is only 9.6. The doctor said that her progesterone level was low and she might have a miscarriage. She advised her to have an abortion. I was scared by the doctor and kept crying. What should I do?

This kind of scene, many newly pregnant expectant mothers have experienced it ~ Many newly pregnant expectant mothers and fathers have asked Ma Jing privately or left messages about this issue.

I just found out that I am pregnant, and I am very happy. Go to the hospital for blood test, progesterone is low. The doctor said there might be an abortion. Abortion? Both of them were shocked and fell to the lowest point like a roller coaster. And some women will be very serious, why are they so unlucky and have so low progesterone ~

Next, Ma Jing will talk about these things about progesterone, hoping to help more expectant mothers who are just pregnant, especially those who have low progesterone value and don't know what to do.

Why do others have high progesterone and I have low progesterone?

Many women will go to the hospital to confirm their pregnancy after pregnancy. When progesterone is low, doctors will ask for abortion, so why do some women have high progesterone and some women have low progesterone? Let me start with progesterone.

1, the first is the physical problem. Some women, due to their own physical reasons, progesterone has not been high, and progesterone will not be high after pregnancy, but there is no problem and they can give birth to babies smoothly and healthily. This situation is that their progesterone value is low, and Ma Jing is such a physique. When she was just pregnant, what time was progesterone? Moreover, I have met many expectant mothers who have just been pregnant with low progesterone, but they have also given birth to children very well. So in this case, as long as hcg doubles and there is no abdominal pain and bleeding, you don't have to worry too much, just relax and raise it.

2. On the other hand, due to luteal insufficiency, progesterone secreted in luteal phase is insufficient. Severe cases may lead to biochemical pregnancy or abortion, fetal arrest and so on. In this case, you should follow the doctor's advice to protect the fetus or give up.

In fact, many experts now suggest not to pay too much attention to the level of progesterone in the first trimester, just as a reference for doctors. Maybe clinically, when progesterone is low, doctors suggest injections or medicine to protect the fetus. Embryo development is normal and it is possible to protect the fetus.

What is the normal progesterone value after pregnancy?

At present, doctors require blood test to check progesterone after pregnancy, mainly through the level of progesterone to help judge whether the embryo is normal or abnormal. As shown in the progesterone numerical table in the following figure, if the detected progesterone level is lower than 5ng/ ml, then embryo death or abortion should probably be considered.

PS:

1. Some expectant mothers get their own reports and see that their progesterone is only a dozen, and some expectant mothers have 50 or 60 progesterone, so they are particularly worried and feel that their progesterone level is too low. In fact, there is a hidden message, the unit is different.

Therefore, when you look at the progesterone data after the examination, you must see clearly the unit behind the progesterone value, because there are two kinds of progesterone units, and different hospitals may have different units, namely ng/ml and nmol/L. The conversion between them is: ng/ml *3. 12 = nmol/L, and ng/ml is a large unit!

You will understand that only a dozen progesterone should be a large unit. If you change it into a small unit and multiply it by 3. 12, your value is not low ~

2. There are many expectant mothers. After examining progesterone, progesterone is lower than 25ng/m, and then the doctor will say that progesterone is too low and ask for progesterone supplementation to protect the fetus. In this case, you can protect the fetus according to the doctor's advice, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. If you have brown secretions, it is best to stay in bed, but there is no need to be too nervous and put too much pressure on yourself. In this case, many people are fine.

Is low progesterone bound to miscarry?

The answer is: not necessarily. As mentioned earlier, some women with low progesterone may have physical problems. If low progesterone is found, there is no need to give it to their babies. Sentenced to death? . You can have a blood test in three to five days. If hcg is doubled and there is no abdominal pain and bleeding, don't worry. Pay attention to rest, relax and let nature take its course.

In addition, it is necessary for expectant mothers to know that progesterone is not constant and may fluctuate even in normal pregnancy. Some expectant mothers find that the progesterone of the second time is lower than that of the first time, and they will worry about whether the baby is in a bad state or not and whether it will have a miscarriage. In fact, the level of progesterone may be low in the first trimester, but as long as the pregnancy activity is good and there is no problem in the pregnancy itself, progesterone will not continue to decline.
