Patient's question:
Please ask if it is better to take 20 mg or 40 mg of gynecological medication daily for maintaining the pregnancy. I am 36 weeks pregnant with a progesterone level of 27.5 and an HCG level of 313. Is the HCG injection given every other day?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, there has been brown vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy. The dosage of gynecological medication for maintaining pregnancy should be determined based on the progesterone test results. It is essential to follow the doctor's advice and not adjust the dosage arbitrarily. Regular follow-up tests of progesterone levels are necessary. Treatment plans should be adjusted based on changes in the values.Considering your condition, there is a possibility of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to continue with treatment to maintain the pregnancy. Currently, it is advisable to rest in bed, enhance nutrition, and eat more vegetables, fruits, and milk. Rest is important, and staying up late should be avoided. Avoid junk food. Currently, you can take folic acid tablets to prevent neural tube defects in the child.
