What should I do if my progesterone level is low at 35 days of pregnancy?

There are many reasons that may cause low progesterone levels in women. Low progesterone can have many adverse effects on women's health, such as irregular menstruation. For pregnant women, low progesterone may also endanger the health of the fetus. At this time, it is best to receive timely treatment. Now let’s learn how women should treat low progesterone levels after 35 days of pregnancy.

Women's progesterone is actually a hormone in the corpus luteum, and this hormone can promote the normal development of the fetus. If progesterone is insufficient, the development of the fetus will become slow, and abnormal fetal development is an important cause of miscarriage. Furthermore, progesterone will have a great impact on whether the pregnancy is normal.

When progesterone is at a normal level, the fetus can develop normally. In many cases, when progesterone is insufficient, supplementing progesterone can promote fetal development. However, if a woman's progesterone level is too low, that is, the progesterone value is lower than 25, or the fetal heartbeat cannot be heard, there is actually no need to preserve the fetus in these situations, because if the fetal heartbeat cannot be heard, preserving the fetus will only increase the pain of the pregnant woman. Therefore, whether to preserve the fetus or give up if the progesterone level is too low depends on the progesterone value and whether there is a fetal heartbeat.

How to treat low progesterone

Progesterone drugs are a major way to solve the problem of low progesterone. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women with low progesterone can choose this type of drug, or get a progesterone supplement injection. The amount of medicine to take and the number of progesterone injections to get can be determined based on the patient's own situation.

Most women believe that preserving the fetus is more important than confinement, so they think that low progesterone can be treated through dietary supplements. In fact, dietary supplements are difficult to solve the problem of low progesterone. According to gynecologists, no foods have been found to promote the secretion of progesterone. Therefore, for pregnant women, it is best to rule out the problem of low progesterone when doing a prenatal check-up. If so, they should directly choose the correct treatment method to solve it in order to promote the development of the fetus.

During the period of preserving the fetus, it is best to rest in bed as much as possible. You should also pay attention to your diet. You can eat more nutritious and easily digestible foods, replenish your body with progesterone on time, and have regular prenatal check-ups to avoid any adverse effects on fetal health caused by low progesterone.
