If the progesterone level is lower than 100, it is not recommended to maintain pregnancy

Nowadays, more and more women need to protect the fetus during pregnancy. Many women will experience threatened miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy. At this time, doctors will recommend pregnant women to protect the fetus, which not only means bed rest, but also requires injections or taking of fetus-protecting drugs. When is the progesterone level during pregnancy lower than what level before it is recommended to preserve the pregnancy? The following will explain in detail how low a woman's progesterone level must be before it is no longer necessary to preserve the pregnancy.

1. What is the level of progesterone that is not suitable for pregnancy preservation?

In fact, there is no accurate definition in theory as to how low the progesterone level is suitable for preserving the fetus. Ultimately, the judgment depends on the patient's own situation. If progesterone gradually decreases, it actually means that threatened miscarriage may occur. Generally speaking, if the menstrual period lasts for more than five weeks, the progesterone level is lower than 15, and the HCG doubling is not good, it means that the embryo itself is poorly developed. At this time, there is no need to preserve the fetus. If HCG doubles, then you can still consider preserving the pregnancy.

2. Under what circumstances does a pregnant woman need to preserve her pregnancy?

1. If the pregnant woman's progesterone level is relatively low and she has obvious symptoms of threatened abortion, then she needs to consider preserving the fetus.

2. If a woman suddenly experiences increased bleeding during the period of pregnancy preservation, accompanied by worsening abdominal pain, or discharge of corresponding tissue from the vagina, she should go to the hospital for examination and control in time.

3. Generally speaking, if a pregnant woman experiences mild bleeding during pregnancy, it can be improved after bed rest and there is no need to preserve the fetus. However, if the bleeding phenomenon is not relieved and vaginal bleeding lasts too long, it is necessary to preserve the pregnancy.

3. What precautions should pregnant women take to protect their fetus?

One thing pregnant women need to know about preserving the fetus is that they should not do it blindly. Relevant experts pointed out that in fact most spontaneous abortions are caused by embryonic maldevelopment. Embryonic maldevelopment indicates that there are abnormalities in the embryo itself. Abortion in this case can be said to be similar to the survival of the fittest in nature. There is no need to preserve the fetus in this case.

In short, if a pregnant woman has been amenorrhea for more than five weeks, her progesterone level is lower than 15, and HCG doubling is not good, there is no need to preserve the fetus at this time. If the HCG level doubles, it is necessary to preserve the pregnancy. In addition, if progesterone gradually decreases, pregnancy preservation treatment should be carried out, otherwise the continued decrease in progesterone will directly lead to miscarriage.
