Why is the progesterone test always low after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Please tell me why the progesterone test results are always low after pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Progesterone is indeed relatively low, and hCG is also relatively low. However, since it's only the first month of pregnancy, if supplementation is administered promptly, there is still a possibility of continuing the pregnancy. In the first month, fetal development is relatively slow. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of genetic risk pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
