What is the normal progesterone level at 35 days of pregnancy?

We all know that a quantitative progesterone hormone level is the most important condition for a woman to become pregnant. A higher concentration of progesterone plays a very important calming role in enlarging the uterus. Progesterone can effectively relax the uterine muscle fibers and reduce their excitability. The 35th day of pregnancy is the most important period. So what is the normal progesterone value at 35 days of pregnancy? Let’s take a look together!

What is progesterone

Many women hear about progesterone after they become pregnant, and most women do not have a clear understanding of what progesterone is. In fact, progesterone is a progestogen, also known as progesterone. Because it is mainly produced by the corpus luteum, it can be said that progesterone is a very important progestogen. It affects women's menstruation, pregnancy, embryo formation and other processes. High concentrations of progesterone have a significant calming effect on the enlarged uterus and are very important for supporting early pregnancy. Progesterone can relax uterine muscle fibers and reduce excitability. At the same time, it can reduce the sensitivity of the pregnant uterus to oxytocin, reduce uterine contractions, and facilitate the growth and development of the fertilized egg in the uterus. After a woman becomes pregnant, if her body's progesterone level is low, she is likely to have a miscarriage.

1. Is it necessary to check progesterone in early pregnancy?

Generally speaking, healthy women do not need to check progesterone, but it is necessary for some women with long-term irregular menstrual cycles or women with a history of miscarriage.

However, many women in early pregnancy, especially urban white-collar workers, are experiencing an increase in spontaneous abortions due to influences of environment, food, stress, etc. Therefore, checking progesterone in advance is helpful to determine the health of the fetus.

If progesterone is lower than normal, the uterus will be more active and miscarriage is more likely to occur. Therefore, when the progesterone level is low, doctors will generally prescribe some progesterone supplements, but these drugs are divided into natural and non-natural types. Therefore, women in early pregnancy are reminded not to buy them at the pharmacy by themselves, because if they take non-natural progesterone supplements without knowing it, it may cause irreparable damage, and how long they need to take the supplements should also be based on the doctor's advice.

If the pregnant woman's own progesterone is within the normal range, there is no need to take any measures to supplement it. If too much progesterone is supplemented, it will have a certain impact on the pregnant woman herself and the fetus, affecting the development of the fetus. Progesterone supplementation should be appropriate and not in large quantities, otherwise miscarriage may occur. Be sure to pay attention!
