Does taking progesterone in early pregnancy affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Got married for two or three years without taking any contraceptive measures, but still haven't been able to get pregnant. I'm wondering if taking progesterone in the early stages of pregnancy will affect the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be taken 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After pregnancy, it is important to rest and ensure proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be performed. There are many causes of luteal function dysfunction, and patients need timely symptomatic treatment. It is recommended to seek treatment at a specialized hospital for your condition. Pay attention to the progression of your condition and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, focus on self-care, maintain a balanced diet, and keep clean. Best wishes for your recovery!
