Why Are Threatened Miscarriages Stemmed from Low Levels of Progesterone Treatable?
In an early pregnancy (first trimester), the progesterone is key to maintaining the pregnancy as it promotes the development of the chorionic villi. The chorionic villi are a hair-like substances that forms the outer layer of placenta and the “hair” acts like tree roots that burrows into the basal layer of the endometrium to ensure proper and secure implantation of the embryo. Secure implantation will reduce the sensitivity of uterine muscles and supress contractions, providing a stable environment for the embryo to grow.
Hence, having sufficient levels of progesterone is indispensable in a pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. There are some conditions that can result in a threatened early miscarriage and many of them are due to low levels of progesterone. Thankfully, those pregnancies affected by low progesterone levels are treatable because progesterone can be supplemented via synthetic progesterone, called the progestin.
How To Supplement Progesterone?
Treatable threatened early miscarriage conditions all require the supplementation of progesterone. To supplement your progesterone level, the key is to take an amount of progesterone that is just right for you. Too little will still lead to a miscarriage and too much will result in the embryo to grow too deep into the endometrium.
