What should I do if my progesterone level is only over 7?

I believe many pregnant women don’t know what the progesterone level means when it is just over 7. In fact, the progesterone content is closely related to the girl’s physique, and each stage of pregnancy is different. Therefore, progesterone causes uterine muscle fiber relaxation and reduces the impact of pregnancy on uterine contraction. If the progesterone level is only over 7, it proves that the progesterone level is low, which may cause symptoms of threatened abortion in pregnant women.

What is the normal value of progesterone?

We all know that a quantitative level of progesterone hormone is a necessary condition for maintaining pregnancy. 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. Insufficient progesterone levels may result in threatened miscarriage or miscarriage. So what is the normal value of progesterone? Below is the reference data of progesterone for women at different stages.

Normal values ​​of progesterone at different stages:

Determination time Sample Old system Unit Normal value Old-new coefficient

New-old coefficient of normal value of legal unit

Follicular phase blood 0.2～0.6ng/ml 3.18 0.6～1.9nmol/L 0.3145

Luteal phase blood 6.5～32.2ng/ml 3.18 20.7～102.4nmol/L 0.3145

7 weeks of pregnancy blood 24.5±7.6ng/ml 3.12 76.4±23.7nmol/L 0.32

8 weeks of pregnancy blood 28.6±7.9ng/ml 3.12 76.4±23.7nmol/L 0.32

Follicular phase blood 24.5±7.6ng/ml 3.12

89.2±24.6nmol/L 0.32

9-12 weeks of pregnancy

Blood 38.0±13.0ng/ml 3.12 118.6±40.6nmol/L 0.32

13-16 weeks of pregnancy 45.5±14.0ng/ml 3.12 142.0±43.7nmol/L

0.32

17-20 weeks of pregnancy blood 63.3±14.0ng/ml 3.12 197.5±43.7nmol/L

0.32

21-24 weeks of pregnancy blood 110.9±35.7ng/ml 3.12 346.0±111.4nmol/L

0.32

25-34 weeks of pregnancy 165.3±35.7ng/ml 3.12 514.8±111.4nmol/L

0.32

35 weeks of pregnancy blood 202.0±47.0ng/ml 3.12 630.2±146.6nmol/L 0.32

Menopausal blood <1.0ng/ml 3.18

<3.2nmol/L 0.3145

13-36 weeks of pregnancy 55ng/ml 3.12 171.6nmol/L 0.32

Full-term pregnancy blood 26ng/ml 3.12

81.1nmol/L 0.32

Note: Different hospitals use different units for conversion. If the reference value on the test report you get is in ng/ml, for example, the normal value of the old system unit for the follicular phase multiplied by 3.18 is converted to the unit of nmol/L; the normal value of the legal unit for the follicular phase multiplied by 0.3145 can be converted to the old system unit of ng/ml.

How to supplement low progesterone levels in early pregnancy?

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,

Generally speaking, doctors will prescribe some progesterone supplements, but these drugs are divided into natural and non-natural ones. Therefore, women in early pregnancy are reminded not to buy them at the pharmacy by themselves. 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.
