Chapter 21: The Progesterone Battle

Just as Zhao Ze was bored looking at his phone, Molly came to his side and sat down.

"How about taking the inspection?" Zhao Ze asked.

Molly didn't speak, just stared blankly at the inspection slips in her hand.

"What did the doctor tell you?" Zhao Ze patted Molly's shoulder with his hand and asked anxiously.

Molly still didn't speak, pulled out one of the inspection reports in her hand, and handed it to Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze took the checklist and looked at the words and data on it, although he understood the words on it, but he didn't know what the data meant. Just as Zhao Ze wanted to ask Molly again what was wrong with this inspection report, tears began to drip from Molly's eyes, strings of them, but Molly still sat there blankly without any expression on her face.

Zhao Ze realized that things were probably not very good, and he didn't try to persuade Molly, just put his arm around her shoulder, hugged her in his arms, and took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.

Molly's head rested on Zhao Ze's shoulder, tears already wetting Zhao Ze's clothes.

After a long while, Molly left Zhao Ze's arms, re-finished it, and then took the inspection report that was handed to Zhao Ze just now in her hand, and pointed to a piece of data on it to show Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze looked at the data on Molly's finger, [Item: Progesterone P, result: 7.67ng/ml, reference value: follicular phase: 0.40-1.1; ovulation phase: 0.5-0.75; luteal phase: 3.6-21.6; menopause: 0-0.94]

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ze didn't know what these things were, and he was very anxious.

Molly stabilized her mood, took the examination report and said: "The doctor told me that my progesterone value is too low, and now in the seventh week of pregnancy, if you supplement progesterone in the next time, and by the time you are 12 weeks pregnant, the progesterone value has not risen, I am afraid that this child will not be able to have it." ”

After Molly said this, she turned her head to look at Zhao Ze and said, "Husband, I'm afraid, I want this child, I can't lose him anymore." With that, tears flowed down her eyes again.

Although Zhao Ze didn't understand what Molly said, the results of the inspection report were not good anyway, so he hugged his wife in his arms again.

"What kind of progesterone are you talking about, how much is normal?" Zhao Ze asked.

Molly leaned on Zhao Ze's shoulder and said, "The doctor said that the progesterone value must reach 25 to be considered a standard, but this month, at least after 30, it can be considered stable." I don't know much about this, or you can look it up on the Internet, how to say it is normal. ”

Zhao Ze helped Molly up again, and then handed Molly the Coke he bought when he was smoking outside just now.

Molly didn't answer, and said: "The doctor said, now I can only drink warm water, these carbonated drinks and coffee, are not allowed to be drunk by pregnant women, I am not thirsty now, you can check the information first." ”

Zhao Ze started to check on his mobile phone, and finally found an article about the normal value of progesterone, and quickly showed it to Molly.

Generally speaking, female friends will change their body hormone levels after pregnancy, such as progesterone and estrogen levels will increase, while male hormone levels will decrease significantly. However, most pregnant mothers are not very familiar with these data, so what is the normal value of progesterone P under normal circumstances?

What is the normal value of progesterone P

Progesterone p, also known as HCG, refers to human chorionic gonadotropin, which is the most familiar and commonly used pregnancy test hormone by obstetricians and gynecologists. In general, normal values for progesterone p are as follows: 5.0 U/L1 for non-pregnant blood, 100 mU/ml1 >> 100 U/L1 for 30 days of pregnancy, and 2000 mU/ml>1 for 40 days >of pregnancy2000U/L1, blood 50~100U/ml150~100kU/L1 at 10 weeks of pregnancy, blood 10~20U/ml110~20kU/L1 at 14 weeks of pregnancy.

What are the dangers of having a low progesterone P value?

1. Affect ovulation and reduce the chance of conception. Injecting high doses of progesterone can help prevent ovulation because progesterone can delay the shedding of the uterine membranes (embryonic culture) and the thick fluid it forms can also prevent sperm from reaching the uterus and fallopian tubes, reducing the chances of conception.

2. Affect fertility. Theoretically, progesterone is needed to combine the egg with sperm to form an embryo, because progesterone helps to stimulate uterine changes during fertility, and it can increase blood flow to blood vessels and tissues in the reproductive system, and then promote embryonic development, so that the egg adheres to the uterus after being released from the ovaries. If progesterone levels drop significantly during the first trimester, it can lead to miscarriage.

In fact, many pregnant mothers are ignorant or even completely ignorant of professional terms such as progesterone index, but it doesn't matter, if there is a problem in the prenatal examination, the general doctor will also inform you, especially when you need to take some drugs for conditioning, and if the doctor says that the prenatal examination is normal, it means that there is no problem.

After Molly and Zhao Ze read this article, they realized that low progesterone values can really lead to miscarriage.

"Did the doctor prescribe progesterone supplementation for you?" Zhao Ze asked.

"Well, it's on. The doctor also told me to eat more celery, spinach and soy products, and drink more soy milk, which are very high in progesterone and can help supplement progesterone. ”

"Okay, wife, don't worry, these things that can supplement progesterone, I will make them for you in different ways to ensure that your progesterone value will increase." Don't worry, wife, did the doctor just say that there is danger? Not to the point of no return. Then the two of us will work together to increase this progesterone level in the shortest possible time, wouldn't it be good! Believe in yourself, come on wife! Let's fight this progesterone battle together! Zhao Ze grabbed Molly's arm and shook it vigorously, with a firm look in his eyes.

Molly also felt the message that Zhao Ze brought to her, and nodded vigorously at her husband.

"Husband, let's work together, come on!"

Seeing Molly's mood improve, Zhao Ze was relieved. In fact, knowing these things just now, for Zhao Ze, his heart was cramping. Since losing his beloved son, Zhao Ze's heart has never been very good, and sometimes when he is uncomfortable, he has to take a fast-acting heart-saving pill to relieve the pain.

In order not to worry Molly, Zhao Ze has been hiding this matter from Molly. Until now, Molly doesn't know that Zhao Ze has a heart problem.

As a husband, Zhao Ze knows Molly's character and thoughts very well. Molly belongs to the kind of girl who seems to outsiders to be very cold and strong in her heart, but in fact, Molly's heart is very fragile, due to her mother's illness, a nineteen-year-old girl, still bears the burden of the family. In order to treat her mother's illness, she came to Beijing to work hard to make money, and until her mother's death in 2007, Molly has grown into an excellent business master.

Although this experience tempered Molly, it also made Molly lacking in character. The pain of losing her mother's love made her mentally unable to bear the hurt of losing her loved ones. Therefore, Zhao Ze must let this child stay, which is also a psychological comfort for him.

"Then let's go get the medicine now, go home in a while, and my husband will make you something to eat." Zhao Ze helped Molly up, and the two of them walked in the direction of the pharmacy.
