Progesterone is below 5 and the pregnancy is successfully preserved

Progesterone, also known as estrogen, is the key hormone secreted by the female ovaries to maintain pregnancy, and plays an important role in maintaining normal pregnancy. During the early pregnancy check-up, the doctor usually checks the progesterone level for pregnant women. The level of progesterone has a certain relationship with the growth and development of the test tube embryo. If the progesterone value is very low, pregnancy preservation treatment is required. The progesterone value is generally required to be no less than 30. If it is less than 5, can the fetus be successfully maintained? What is the way to successfully maintain the fetus when the progesterone level is less than 5?

The standard value of progesterone is different for different weeks of pregnancy. Generally, the progesterone value in the early pregnancy will be slightly lower. As the pregnancy progresses, the progesterone value will increase. By the 12th to 14th week of pregnancy, the high or low progesterone value is no longer of practical value. If the progesterone value is less than 5, the first thing to rule out is ectopic pregnancy or embryonic arrest. If the fetal heart rate and fetal buds are growing well, but the progesterone level is low, you can continue to try to maintain the pregnancy. After a series of methods of maintaining the pregnancy, you can return for a follow-up B-ultrasound 2 weeks later to see the actual effect of the pregnancy maintenance.

How to protect the fetus during pregnancy when progesterone is low? Low progesterone during pregnancy needs to be supplemented with progesterone. You can inject copper progesterone or take progesterone orally for one month. Copper progesterone is an estrogen and is a type of pregnancy-preserving drug. During this period, it is best to check the progesterone level once a week to see if the progesterone level has been replenished. If it is simply low progesterone during pregnancy, it can usually be saved by injecting progesterone. If it is caused by problems in fetal development, even if progesterone levels are supplemented, the success rate of preserving the pregnancy will be relatively low. In addition, pregnant women must absolutely stay in bed to rest, and it is best to eat, sleep and urinate in bed. If there is no bleeding or abdominal pain, the success rate of prenatal care is very high.

For pregnant women with low estrogen levels, in addition to taking or injecting progesterone, they can also supplement progesterone levels through diet therapy. Soybeans contain isoflavones, which can help women produce more progesterone levels. At the same time, you can also eat more fruits containing gum arabic and dietary fiber, such as kiwi, strawberry seedlings, red grapefruit, etc., to help pregnant women supplement vitamin C and vitamin E, and help progesterone levels reach normal levels.
