Are progesterone levels low during pregnancy

  Female friends who have just become pregnant need to pay attention to prenatal check ups to ensure healthy early pregnancy. However, some women may feel particularly nervous when their progesterone levels are found to be slightly low during early pregnancy, as low progesterone levels may affect the good development of the embryo. So, are all progesterone levels low during pregnancy?

  

Are progesterone levels low during pregnancy1

  1. After pregnancy, the blood progesterone in women's bodies gradually increases with the number of days of pregnancy, so the endocrine system in the body is still in the initial start-up stage at the beginning of pregnancy, so there may be temporary low progesterone. As the number of days of pregnancy increases, the operation of the endocrine system strengthens, and the secretion of progesterone will also increase significantly after the endocrine system stabilizes.

  2. Every pregnant woman has individual differences, so it is not absolute that all women will have initial low progesterone levels after pregnancy. Some people may show more obvious symptoms, while others may not. If progesterone is low within an acceptable range, pregnant women do not need to be overly nervous about it. They can focus on early pregnancy precautions.

  3. If the progesterone level is lower than the lower limit of the reference value after examination, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice for adjustment. If necessary, medication or injections that increase progesterone should be taken to ensure normal progesterone levels in the body, which is beneficial for maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
