Is it harmful if hcg doubles and progesterone is low?

Is there any harm if hcg doubles and progesterone is low? This is what many women want to fully understand, because for women, when they are pregnant, they want to ensure their physical health. Therefore, when this happens, they want to fully understand whether there are any harms? The following content gives a detailed answer, so many women can have a comprehensive understanding.

Case 1: HCG doubles, which is good, but progesterone decreases

There is another situation where HCG doubles very well but progesterone decreases. This shows that the embryo is developing normally, but HCG's progesterone function is not working. For example, Chinese medicine has a saying called "lung qi deficiency". It does not mean that the lungs are diseased, but that their functions are not functioning properly. You need to rest quietly and develop the functions quietly. The principle is the same. In this case, if conditions permit, you should rest quietly and lie down as much as possible. As long as the progesterone level is not extremely low, you can preserve the pregnancy without supplementing. (See the end of this article for specific values)

Case 2: Normal progesterone but HCG doubling is not good

Another thing is that the progesterone level is normal, but the HCG doubling is not good. This situation is very rare, because HCG promotes the production of progesterone. If HCG is not good, progesterone will generally not be good either. Many pregnant women say that doubling of HCG is not good, but this is relatively bad. What it means is that if you measure it on a certain day and the value goes up but not to the multiple, with a difference of one hundred or two hundred, then it is relatively bad, absolutely bad. The value is in a range, for example, in 8 days, it has only doubled, which is not a very good situation. First, rule out ectopic pregnancy. Then there may be a problem with the embryo. Refer to the previous paragraph. Nowadays, many hospitals only supplement progesterone and rarely supplement HCG, because low HCG is likely to indicate that the embryo itself is not good and there is little value in preserving the pregnancy.

All of the above values, such as pregnancy preservation, comparison, and doubling, are all things that need to be paid attention to before 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, within 10 weeks, HCG will reach its peak, then maintain for about 10 days, and then drop sharply, because the real placenta is formed and its mission has come to an end. In addition, if your HCG is already over 10,000, then some pregnant women will start to see that doubling is not so fast, and the speed will slow down. This is all normal. This is relatively poor doubling. For a relatively large base, the increase in quantity and the increase in multiples are two different things. The increase in quantity of HCG is still very large.

Case 3: Progesterone decreases and HCG doubles are not good

This situation is just like the situation of the second netizen "MR Jiang Kai's wife" at the beginning. HCG did not double but decreased, and progesterone was also decreasing. In this case, the doctor would recommend that you protect the fetus first. If there is still no improvement after taking measures to protect the fetus, the doctor would also recommend that you give up as soon as possible and have an abortion. Because in this case, it is very likely that the embryo itself is not good, and there is no point in preserving the pregnancy. Even if the fetus is successfully preserved by force, the fetus will face more challenges in the later stages of pregnancy and may even experience fetal arrest. If an abortion is performed later, the expectant mother will also be in greater danger.

Will there be any harm if hcg doubles and progesterone is low? Such a situation will definitely cause harm to your own body and the baby's body. Therefore, for many women who encounter this situation, they must fully understand the situation and take correct corresponding treatment measures according to the doctor's advice to ensure the safety of mother and child.
