Patient's question:
Six weeks of prenatal ultrasound showed a gestational sac measuring 16mm×9mm with cystic echoes in the uterine cavity. Estradiol level was 1606.346, progesterone level was 33.085, and HCG level was 9547. The doctor prescribed progesterone tablets for fifteen days, saying that she had previously adjusted the menstrual cycle with Dianine due to concerns about ovarian function. Is it necessary to take this medication? Will it cause any harm to the baby?Doctor's answer:
At six weeks, a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine cavity revealed a gestational sac echo, which confirmed an intrauterine early pregnancy. From the perspective of blood HCG and progesterone levels, they appear relatively stable. If ovarian function is poor, progesterone levels may gradually begin to rise or fail to increase. Currently, the progesterone level is still stable. However, it is recommended to recheck every other day to monitor the trend of the levels. If the levels become unstable, it may be necessary to take measures to support the pregnancy. During the period of pregnancy support, it is best to rest in bed to ensure the stability of the fetus.
