During the first trimester, progesterone levels usually rise to maintain implantation of the fertilized egg and maintenance of pregnancy. However, if progesterone levels are too high, the following may occur:
1. Increased risk of early miscarriage: There is a link between high progesterone levels and early miscarriage . Progesterone is one of the key hormones in maintaining pregnancy, but excessive progesterone levels may cause abnormal embryo development, thereby increasing the risk of early miscarriage.
2. Increased likelihood of multiple gestations: High progesterone levels may be an indicator of multiple gestations. If you took ovulation-stimulating drugs or had assisted reproductive technology during your pregnancy, high progesterone levels may be a sign of a multiple pregnancy.
3. Abnormal progesterone production: High progesterone levels can sometimes be caused by abnormal progesterone production. For example, luteal insufficiency may cause progesterone levels to be too high.
If you suspect that your progesterone levels are too high, it is recommended that you contact your doctor immediately for further evaluation and treatment. Your doctor may recommend a blood test to determine if progesterone levels are above the normal range and develop an appropriate treatment plan based on your case.
