Why is progesterone low at 6 weeks of pregnancy and taking progesterone 19.5?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why am I taking progesterone 19.5 when I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have low progesterone?

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 conception, it is important to rest and maintain good 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.
Hello. It is normal to experience fetal movement at 34 weeks of pregnancy. Fetal movement follows a certain pattern, indicating the transition between sleep and wakefulness in the uterus. Generally, fetal movement is least active in the morning, while activity peaks in the evening, with 6–10 movements. Normal apparent fetal movement should be at least 3–5 times within an hour, and the total number of movements in 12 hours should be between 30–40. The period from 28 to 38 weeks of pregnancy is when fetal movement is most active. Fetal movement monitoring is a must for every pregnant woman. During the second and third trimesters, it is essential to record the daily number of fetal movements.
