Progesterone changes after pregnancy

Progesterone plays a role in reproduction. It can help us stimulate changes in the uterus. It can also increase the blood vessels and tissues of the uterus, promote flow, and help the development of the embryo. Therefore, whether the progesterone level is normal determines whether the baby in the belly develops normally. The changes in progesterone after pregnancy have obvious signs, and these signs must be understood very clearly.

Progesterone helps stimulate changes in the uterus during the reproductive process and promotes embryonic development by increasing blood flow to the blood vessels and tissues of the reproductive system. Generally, the average progesterone level in early pregnancy is 25ng/ml (80.3nmol/L). Studies have shown that if the pregnant mother's progesterone level is low, symptoms such as threatened abortion may occur.

Therefore, if the pregnant mother's progesterone value is ≥25ng/ml, it is normal;

If the progesterone level is between 15 and 25 ng/ml, it indicates that the corpus luteum function is deficient and the cause needs to be found out as soon as possible and progesterone supplemented;

If the progesterone level is ≤15ng/ml, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible or terminate the pregnancy in time.

The length of gestational age will affect the progesterone index, so there is no need to worry about low progesterone levels at one time. Continuous observation is needed.

Don’t worry too much about the progesterone value; don’t worry too much about your progesterone value. Different hospitals have different indicator requirements, and the specifications of the test strips used in each hospital are also different, so the results are often different.

The normal range of progesterone values ​​for different periods on the Internet is for reference only. The most correct and safest approach is to consult your obstetrician directly after getting the test results.
