Patient's question:
The other day, my wife and I went for a pre-pregnancy checkup and found that her progesterone level was low. What should we do about low progesterone during pre-pregnancy testing?Doctor's answer:
You can check the next development of the follicles. If the follicles develop normally, then the progesterone level may be low, and it can be temporarily left untreated. Wait until pregnancy occurs, and then consider taking oral medication early for pregnancy preservation treatment. Some people may also see a drop in progesterone levels after getting pregnant. If the next check shows that the follicle development is not going well, then it will be necessary to consider adjusting with a variety of estrogen and progesterone drugs.
