Is it harmful to take too much progesterone?

The reproductive capacity of modern women has greatly declined and they have encountered various challenges. For example, insufficient progesterone is one of the reasons why many women have problems getting pregnant. The solution to this problem is mainly to supplement progesterone, increase the progesterone level in the body, and increase the chance of pregnancy. However, taking medication to supplement progesterone is not a long-term solution and may even bring side effects. Let's take a look at whether taking too much progesterone is harmful.

When using progesterone to preserve the pregnancy, you must pay attention to regular follow-up visits. If the fetus or embryo is found to be dead, the pregnancy must be terminated immediately to avoid stillbirth syndrome and endanger the health and life safety of the pregnant woman.

When progesterone is too low, it can easily cause miscarriage, so you must supplement progesterone in an appropriate amount at this time, but don't take too much. If you take too much, the progesterone level may be too high and may cause fetal malformations. In severe cases, the sex of the fetus may be affected.
