Patient's question:
My university classmate had a miscarriage at three months of pregnancy. It's said that it happened because the progesterone dropped, and when the progesterone stopped, the miscarriage occurred?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for miscarriage are not solely due to progesterone. If the progesterone levels are low after conception and checked carefully, then it may be necessary to consider using progesterone to support the pregnancy. Therefore, if there is a miscarriage, it is likely due to factors related to the individual's own health, rather than the discontinuation of progesterone. Before trying to conceive again, both partners can go to the hospital for thorough preconception health checks and genetic counseling to identify the underlying causes, receive targeted treatment, and then attempt to conceive.
