Patient's question:
I'm still in school, 21 years old. I recently just found out I'm pregnant. I'm a bit young, and I don't know what to do. Please ask: What are the symptoms of low progesterone in early pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Early progesterone deficiency usually doesn't cause any symptoms unless you have already developed signs of miscarriage. If it progresses to a miscarriage, there may be vaginal bleeding. During the first three months of pregnancy, progesterone is excreted by the mother to maintain the pregnancy. If progesterone levels persistently drop, you will need external progesterone to maintain the pregnancy, otherwise, it may lead to a miscarriage. Lastly, in daily life, it's important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from illness.
