Why is the progesterone level low after pregnancy if the menstrual cycle is normal?

Patient's question:

Female, 26 years old, she has always been in good health. Recently, she just got pregnant, and the whole family was immersed in joy. Who would have thought that she would feel uncomfortable these past two days. After checking, she found that the pregnancy had stopped. Why is her period normal but her progesterone is low after getting pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Preventive measures involve starting oral symptomatic medication three days after menopause. If the effect is not good, it indicates poor luteal function, and medication is necessary. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade III-A hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular sleep patterns, take precautions against cold and warmth, consume light, thin, and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
