After the bleeding stops, it is best to rest for two weeks before returning to work.

Progesterone can ensure embryonic development, maintain pregnancy, inhibit uterine smooth muscle contraction, and reduce uterine tension. In the early stages of pregnancy, progesterone can be used to maintain pregnancy, or intramuscular injection of human chorionic gonadotropin can be used for treatment (because this hormone can stimulate corpus luteum function).

In addition, oral vitamin E is also beneficial for maintaining embryonic development.
