Introduction
If progesterone levels are measured in ng/mL, a value of 30 corresponds to 7–12 weeks of gestation. During early pregnancy, the normal range for progesterone in this unit is approximately 10–44 ng/mL. Progesterone levels are relatively high and stable during this period, providing a favorable environment for embryonic development. However, a single progesterone measurement alone cannot accurately determine gestational age and should be interpreted in conjunction with other diagnostic findings.

Generally, if the progesterone level is 30 with the unit in nmol/L, it typically corresponds to 6–8 weeks of pregnancy; if the unit is ng/mL, it usually indicates 7–12 weeks of gestation. However, an accurate assessment should be made by combining HCG levels and ultrasound findings. If there are any concerns, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the test report shows progesterone in units of nmol/L, a value of 30 usually corresponds to 6–8 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, after embryo implantation, the placenta begins to secrete progesterone, which gradually increases. A normal range is approximately 25–75 nmol/L, suggesting that the pregnancy is likely in the middle to late first trimester.

If the progesterone unit is ng/mL, a value of 30 generally aligns with 7–12 weeks of pregnancy. In this unit, the normal progesterone range during early pregnancy is about 10–44 ng/mL. Progesterone levels during this stage are relatively high and stable, providing a favorable environment for embryonic development. However, a single progesterone measurement alone cannot precisely determine gestational age and must be evaluated alongside other test results.

Upon finding a progesterone level of 30, the first step is to confirm the measurement unit. It is advisable to also check HCG levels and monitor their doubling trend. For a more accurate determination of gestational age, an ultrasound examination should be performed to assess the size of the gestational sac and embryo, avoiding potential misjudgment based solely on progesterone values.
