Normal progesterone level at 2 weeks of pregnancy

This is a critical time. If people do not pay attention to their bodies all the time during this period, it is very easy to cause miscarriage. Therefore, you must pay attention to supplementing progesterone. If you find that your progesterone is abnormal during the examination, you should take it in time. This will make your body healthier and prevent many pregnancy reactions.

Progesterone, also known as progesterone hormone and luteinizing hormone, is the main biologically active progestin secreted by the ovaries. Before ovulation, the amount of progesterone produced per day is 2~3 mg, mainly from the ovaries.

After ovulation, it rises to 20-30 mg per day, most of which is secreted by the corpus luteum in the ovary. Progesterone can protect the female endometrium. During pregnancy, progesterone can provide support and protection for the early growth and development of the fetus, and can have a certain calming effect on the uterus.

In addition, progesterone and estrogen are closely related, and both are very important female hormones. The main function of estrogen is to promote the development and maturation of female secondary sexual characteristics, while progesterone further promotes the development and maturation of secondary sexual characteristics on the basis of the effect of estrogen. There is a synergistic effect between the two.

Whether the drug has an effect on the fetus depends on several factors: the nature of the drug, the dosage of the drug, and the gestational age of injection. Progesterone is a drug for preserving pregnancy. The progesterone used for preserving pregnancy is natural, not artificially synthesized.

Natural progesterone can be used to protect the fetus. As long as the progesterone hormone is lower than the normal value and the medication is taken strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions, there will be no problem with the fetus. Natural progesterone usually only causes problems in two situations: one is when the progesterone hormone level is normal but you are still taking progesterone. 2: Not following the doctor's instructions and taking progesterone excessively or frequently. When the above two situations occur, it will cause the male fetus to become feminine, and the female fetus will have excessive estrogen, making it more feminine.

If it is artificially synthesized progesterone, the side effects will be greater and may cause abnormal embryo development, especially feminization of a male fetus. Also, because artificially synthesized progesterone contains norethindrone (which has a masculinizing effect), there is also a chance of masculinizing a female fetus.
