Progesterone refers to the level of progesterone in the body. Embryonic growth and development are related to progesterone. Low progesterone may lead to miscarriage. Progesterone test results may indicate a certain risk of natural miscarriage. If there are no abnormalities (temporary observation for one week if there is abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, and follow up if abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding occurs again, progesterone fetal guardian treatment can be adopted. Note: Do not share a room during the first three months of pregnancy.Luteal function insufficiency refers to the insufficient secretion of estrogen and progesterone by the female ovary's corpus luteum. If a woman's luteal function is abnormal, it may lead to corpus luteum atrophy, implantation failure, female infertility, or miscarriage. The best time to test progesterone is about 14-15 days after the menstrual period ends.
