Pregnancy can cause many changes in a woman's body, such as an increase in progesterone levels during successful pregnancy. Progesterone is an important substance in the female body that plays a role in maintaining pregnancy. Therefore, women must pay attention to the condition of progesterone after pregnancy. So, how much progesterone is normal for women at one week of pregnancy?
At the first week of pregnancy, the normal value of progesterone is around 30nmol/L. If progesterone is below 25nmol/L, it indicates that progesterone is low. If the progesterone level in pregnant women is low, the stability of the fetus will deteriorate, which can easily lead to threatened miscarriage and symptoms such as abdominal pain and bleeding.
If the progesterone level in pregnant women is relatively low, it must be given high attention. If progesterone is below 15nmol/L, or even below 10nmol/L, it is likely to be caused by ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant women need to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination at 35-40 days of pregnancy to confirm whether it belongs to ectopic pregnancy.
A newly pregnant woman with a progesterone level of 15-20nmol/L is likely to have luteal insufficiency. At this point, it is necessary to undergo fetal protection treatment. Generally, doctors will administer progesterone to pregnant women through medication and injection. This can cause a rapid increase in progesterone, which usually returns to normal after a few days, effectively preventing the occurrence of threatened miscarriage. In addition, pregnant women can also eat more soy products in their daily lives, which can supplement soy isoflavones and vitamin E, and also have the effect of enhancing progesterone.
