I took progesterone pills for a week but my blood pressure went down

Dydrogesterone tablets are a very common medicine, especially for our female friends, who may often take some dydrogesterone tablets in their daily lives. However, many female friends will experience a decrease in progesterone after taking dydrogesterone tablets in their daily lives. So what is the reason for the decrease in progesterone after taking dydrogesterone tablets? Why does the progesterone level drop after taking progesterone tablets for a week? Let's find out together.

After taking progesterone tablets for a week, the progesterone level in the blood is low. What kind of situation would this be? It depends on what kind of progesterone tablets you take. For example, if we take granulated progesterone capsules or other types of progesterone copper, such as progesterone copper for intravaginal use, then its blood concentration will increase.

However, if you take another kind of progesterone tablet, such as didapoxetine, also known as Duphaston, it will not be expressed in the blood, but its drug effect will be produced, such as inhibiting uterine contraction, improving uterine circulation, and immune function. Then it only maintains the effect of the drug, but it will not be expressed in the blood. The progesterone level in the blood is the secretion of your own uterus and ovaries. Therefore, as long as there is no vaginal bleeding and no swelling and pain in the lower abdomen, there is no need to worry too much.

The main function of progesterone tablets is to prevent threatened miscarriage. It cannot increase the progesterone level in the body, and dydrogesterone tablets cannot be detected through blood tests after taking them. In the early stages of pregnancy, if there is a significant low progesterone level, you can supplement the progesterone level by injecting progesterone copper or taking progesterone capsules to avoid miscarriage symptoms due to insufficient progesterone levels.
