Reasons for progesterone drop at 7 weeks of pregnancy

The decrease in progesterone in the 7th week of pregnancy may be caused by a decrease in progesterone levels, or it may be caused by an increase in the secretion of pregnancy hormones. Therefore, a decrease in progesterone in the 7th week of pregnancy needs to be taken seriously, as it may cause miscarriage in pregnant women. The decrease in progesterone is related to the mother's own condition, especially the secretion of three hormones: progesterone, estrogen and chorionic gonadotropin.

1. Progesterone decreases and HCG doubles at 7 weeks of pregnancy

1. According to the fact that your blood HCG value and progesterone value have doubled, the possibility of intrauterine growth retardation or arrest of the fetus cannot be ruled out. If the progesterone level is too low, miscarriage is very likely to occur. Low progesterone level can sometimes affect the development of the fetus.

2. Generally, as long as you are pregnant, the secretion of hormones will increase. As long as the progesterone value fluctuates within a reasonable range, there is no big problem. As long as it is not too low, it is okay. Judging from the value of progesterone, there is no big problem. In the early pregnancy, the main thing to look at is the doubling of the progesterone value and blood HCG. Therefore, it is also necessary to combine the blood HCG value, pay attention to keep the abdomen warm and not get cold, and eat more foods rich in estrogen.

2. Reasons for decreased progesterone after pregnancy

1. The mother’s own hormones are insufficient. During the early development of the embryo, three important hormone levels are required: estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin. If the mother's own endogenous hormones are insufficient, it will lead to a decrease in progesterone and cause the embryo to arrest.

2. Disease factors. Threatened abortion, ectopic pregnancy, premature birth, amenorrhea, infertility, etc. can all directly cause a decrease in progesterone.

3. Luteal insufficiency. If the corpus luteum is not fully functional and the corpus luteum of the ovary is not fully developed, the progesterone content will decrease accordingly, and will be relatively low compared to normal and healthy women.

4. Severe disorders of adrenal and thyroid glands. Adrenal and thyroid dysfunction can produce certain pathological conditions and may also affect ovarian function, leading to obstruction and impact on pregnancy, ovulation disorders, and a corresponding decrease in progesterone levels, but relatively speaking, it will be less.
