Progesterone is a type of progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum of the female ovary. Progesterone can maintain endometrial growth and plays a very important role in the normal implantation and growth and development of fertilized eggs. After pregnancy, the progesterone level in a woman's body will change. So how much can one week of progesterone treatment increase?
Every woman has a different ability to absorb medication, so it is uncertain whether a one week progesterone injection will increase. Some women are not sensitive to progesterone and even if they receive progesterone injections, it will not increase. After pregnancy, women may experience threatened miscarriage due to low levels of progesterone. At this time, progesterone drugs can be given for fetal protection treatment. When using progesterone drugs for fetal protection treatment, it is generally necessary to inject continuously for 1-2 weeks, and if necessary, it may also be injected until 3 months of pregnancy.
During the injection of progesterone, women should also pay attention to detecting the increase of progesterone. Progesterone injection is beneficial for supplementing the deficiency of progesterone. However, progesterone is not a universal medication for protecting pregnancy, and some women may still experience miscarriage even after receiving progesterone without any significant changes.
The progesterone levels vary at different stages of pregnancy, and in the early 5th and 6th weeks of pregnancy, the progesterone levels in the body may reach 5-10ng/ml; After 7 or 8 weeks of pregnancy, the placental tissue secretes a large amount of progesterone, usually in the twenties. Generally speaking, the normal value of progesterone is around 20-40ng/m.
