      What's the deal with progesterone for miscarriage? Many pregnant women develop symptoms early in pregnancy threatened abortion Symptoms, all have experienced using progesterone to prevent miscarriage. Once some pregnant women find symptoms of threatened abortion such as vaginal bleeding, they rush to use progesterone to protect the fetus. In fact, the use of progesterone for miscarriage depends on the situation.

      Generally, progesterone supplementation is only needed to protect the fetus when the progesterone level is low. If there is a problem with the embryo itself, progesterone is not needed to protect the fetus.

      It is best for pregnant women to have a check-up every other month in the early stages of pregnancy. Once symptoms of threatened abortion such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding occur, seek medical advice as soon as possible. Hospital Check through B-ultrasound to see if it is Ectopic pregnancy , whether the embryo develops normally. If you are six or seven weeks pregnant, you can check the fetal buds and fetal heart rate fluctuations.

      If the pregnant woman’s progesterone level is low due to insufficient luteal function after examination, progesterone can be supplemented. But now some pregnant women rush to use progesterone to protect the fetus once they find symptoms of threatened abortion such as vaginal bleeding. In fact, abortion is also a process of natural elimination of the embryo itself. More than 1/3 of spontaneous abortions are due to chromosomal problems in the embryos, and the earlier a spontaneous abortion occurs, the higher the proportion of embryo problems. If there is indeed a problem with the embryo itself, then fetal protection will not help. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the low progesterone level due to insufficient luteal function through examination, and then use progesterone to protect the fetus.

      Pregnant women sometimes experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding and don’t be too nervous. This situation may not necessarily mean there is a problem with the embryo itself, but may be vaginal bleeding caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body. However, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. If it is just vaginal bleeding caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, it is best to avoid strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse. >>>> How to give birth to a boy easily 8a habit
