How to handle low progesterone

Patient's question:

At two months of pregnancy, the ultrasound showed a gestational sac and fetal heartbeat. The blood test revealed progesterone levels of only 8.6. HCG was 23790. After a week of progesterone injections, the progesterone level increased to 18.5, with HCG at 56690. 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 any further tests. Can my baby be saved?

Doctor's answer:

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