Patient's question:
Estradiol is low; miscarried in February and has not been pregnant since.Doctor's answer:
Progesterone is a natural progestogen secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. It has a significant morphological effect on the estrogen-stimulated endometrium in the body and is essential for maintaining pregnancy.Recommendation:
Hello, taking progesterone is beneficial for pregnancy maintenance, especially since you recently experienced a miscarriage. Progesterone promotes the growth of glandular cells in the uterine mucosa during the late menstrual cycle, causing uterine congestion and endometrial thickening, thereby preparing the ground for the implantation of the fertilized egg. After implantation, it helps form the placenta and reduces the excitability of the pregnant uterus, suppressing its activity to ensure the safe growth of the fetus.
Usage:
Intramuscular injection: 10–20 mg once daily or 2–3 times per week, continuing until the fourth month of pregnancy.
