What is the situation when progesterone decreases and hcg increases

Progesterone is a progestin, just like hcg. Both are one of the criteria for measuring the health of pregnant women during pregnancy checkups. If progesterone is low and hcg is high during the examination, pregnant women must pay attention to it. Generally speaking, an increase in hcg is normal, but a decrease in progesterone may indicate that something is wrong with the body, so a physical examination should be done.

1. Pay attention to the decline of progesterone

A decrease in progesterone does not mean that you have an ectopic pregnancy; the reason for a decrease in progesterone may be your own corpus luteum insufficiency; the medicine and soy milk you mentioned will not cause a decrease in progesterone; however, you and soy milk have a certain effect; a bad mood is not closely related to a decrease in progesterone. Guidance: In the early stages of pregnancy, blood HCG doubles every 2-3 days; before 8 weeks of pregnancy, a progesterone value greater than 25ng/dl is better, and it will continue to increase; after 8 weeks of pregnancy, a progesterone value greater than 40ng/dl is ideal. If your progesterone value is decreasing and there is a risk of threatened abortion, you can inject progesterone 20mg twice a day, and check HCG and progesterone every week to see the effect of the medication. You can do a B-ultrasound around 50 days of pregnancy, at which time you should be able to see the fetal heart and embryo bud.

2. Elevated HCG

Blood HCG will continue to rise in the early stages of pregnancy, so your situation may be normal. If hcg is already very high, you should recheck the B-ultrasound to see the fetal heart rate. If the fetal heart rate is normal, there is no bleeding, and no abdominal pain, there is no need to maintain the pregnancy. Progesterone is a progestin that has the effect of maintaining pregnancy. If the progesterone value does not rise but falls, it may indicate that the embryo is maldeveloped.

3. Notes

The rise and then fall of progesterone indicates that the progesterone hormone is abnormal and you need to use pregnancy-preserving drugs such as progesterone. Therefore, in your case, it is recommended that you see a professional obstetrician in a gynecology and obstetrics hospital to guide you to preserve the fetus based on the diagnosis. An increase in hcg is good, indicating that the baby is growing well. If the progesterone level decreases, you can take progesterone tablets or get an injection. In daily life, you should choose foods that are rich in phytoestrogens; mentally, avoid excessive fatigue and keep a good mood; in addition, you should seek medical treatment in time and do prenatal checkups.
