The relationship between hcg and progesterone

Pregnant women need to do some prenatal tests to ensure the health of the fetus and themselves. If the values ​​of hcg and progesterone are not within the safe range, it will be very unfavorable. If the Hcg and progesterone values ​​are too high or too low, there will be adverse factors. The doctor will tell the pregnant woman the reason during the examination. So what is the relationship between hcg and progesterone_What is the relationship between progesterone and hcg? It is understood that the relationship between the two is close, and any problems that arise should be improved under the guidance of a doctor.

The synergistic effect of HCG and progesterone allows the embryo to obtain nutrients on the one hand, and ensures the safety of the embryo on the other hand, so neither is indispensable. If HCG doubling is not done well, the embryo may be developmentally delayed or even stop growing due to lack of nutrients. If progesterone is insufficient, the embryo will have unstable implantation, causing bleeding or even miscarriage. Therefore, if the above problems are found during examination in the hospital, in addition to taking medicine, rest is very important. Resting can prevent blood flow from being distributed to the limbs as much as possible, and the blood flow to the uterus will increase, ensuring the nutrition of the fetus. If you do not move, the uterus will not be squeezed by the internal organs, and the embryo will be more easily stabilized when progesterone is low.

Low HCG and progesterone levels do not necessarily mean miscarriage, but the chance of miscarriage will be higher. Once bleeding occurs, you should get tested. If there has been a history of adverse pregnancies, it is also possible to monitor the situation just in case.

If HCG doubling is poor or progesterone is low, is it a problem with the mother or the fetus? All of this is possible. We don't say HCG is low here, because there is no standard for HCG, and its basic value varies from person to person, so we can only say it is a doubled value. Progesterone has a standard value. Traditional Chinese medicine always says that cold uterus means poor blood circulation in the uterus. Since the blood circulation is poor, it will be more difficult for the embryo to obtain sufficient nutrients after implantation, and the mother's blood circulation system will affect the fetus. If there is a problem with the embryo itself and it is difficult for it to grow enough claws to grasp the uterine wall, it will also cause poor doubling.

There is another situation where HCG doubles very well but progesterone decreases. This shows that the embryo is developing normally, but HCG's progesterone function is not working. There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine called "lung qi deficiency". It does not mean that the lungs are diseased, but that their function is not good and they need to rest. In this case, if conditions permit, you should rest quietly and lie down as much as possible. As long as the progesterone level is not extremely low, you can preserve the pregnancy without supplementing.

Another thing is that the progesterone level is normal, but the HCG doubling is not good. This situation is very rare, because HCG promotes the production of progesterone. If HCG is not good, progesterone will generally not be good either. Many pregnant women say that doubling of HCG is not good, but this is relatively bad. Just measure the digital value. If the value goes up but does not reach the multiple, with a difference of one hundred or two hundred, then it is relatively bad, absolutely bad. That is, the value is in a range, for example, it only doubled in 8 days, then this situation is not very good. First, rule out ectopic pregnancy, and then there may be a problem with the embryo. Many hospitals now only supplement progesterone and rarely HCG, because low HCG may mean that the embryo itself is not good, and there is little value in preserving the fetus.

All of the above values, fetal preservation, comparison, and doubling are all things that need to be paid attention to before 8 weeks. After 8 weeks and within 10 weeks, HCG will reach its peak, then maintain for about 10 days, and then drop sharply because the real placenta is formed. In addition, if your HCG is already tens of thousands, then some pregnant women will begin to double less quickly, and the speed will slow down. This is all relatively poor doubling. For a relatively large base, the increase in quantity and the increase in multiples are two different things. The increase in quantity of HCG is still very large.

The formation of the placenta will begin when the HCG peaks in these few days and grow into a real placenta around 12 weeks. The placenta begins to eat nutrients on its own and is able to store nutrients, firmly grasping the uterine wall. At 16 weeks, the HCG secretion of the placenta reaches a relatively moderate level and continues until the end of pregnancy.
