Introduction
To regulate progesterone levels via progesterone injection, the doctor first needs to evaluate the pregnant woman's health condition to determine whether she is suitable for progesterone injections and decide the appropriate dosage based on her individual circumstances. The doctor then administers injections alternately into both buttocks. After each injection, pressure should be applied for 5 minutes. Two to three hours after the injection, apply a warm towel externally for 30 minutes. One week after starting the injections, the patient should return to the hospital for a follow-up test of hormone levels so that the dosage can be adjusted accordingly.

During preconception, if a pregnant woman has low progesterone levels, she should immediately supplement with progesterone. She can go to a正规 hospital for progesterone injections. The specific procedure is as follows:

1. First, the doctor evaluates the pregnant woman's physical condition to determine whether she is suitable for progesterone injection.

2. Based on the individual condition of the pregnant woman, the doctor determines the appropriate dosage of progesterone, draws the medication into a syringe, and expels all air from the syringe.

3. The pregnant woman lies face down on the bed, removes her pants, and exposes her buttocks.

4. The doctor then alternately administers injections into both sides of the buttocks. After each injection, pressure should be applied for 5 minutes to prevent leakage of the medication into the fat layer, which could affect absorption.

5. Two to three hours after injection, apply a warm towel compress for 30 minutes, 2–3 times daily, to relieve pain. One week after starting injections, return to the hospital for a follow-up hormone level test to adjust the dosage as needed.
