How to handle low progesterone

Patient's question:

At two months of pregnancy, the ultrasound showed a fetal pole and heartbeat. The blood test revealed progesterone levels of only 8.6. HCG was 23,790. After a week of progesterone injections, the progesterone level increased to 18.5, and HCG was 56,690. Now it's almost three months, and I've been continuously receiving progesterone injections. I haven't experienced any discomfort, and I haven't had further tests. Can my baby be saved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the possibility of miscarriage, it is recommended to take pregnancy preservation pills, inject progesterone for preservation, and maintain absolute bed rest. Adequately increase nutrients and conduct regular prenatal examinations. Choose appropriate methods based on the development of the fetus. Generally, doctors advise women with risk signs of prenatal examination to maintain a balanced diet, stay away from spicy and stimulating as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
