What is the Progesterone Test?
The Progesterone test measures the level of progesterone, a hormone produced primarily by the ovaries in women and the adrenal glands in both men and women. Progesterone plays a vital role in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy. In pregnant women, progesterone levels rise to prepare the uterus for implantation and support the development of the fetus. In non-pregnant women, it helps track ovulation. Abnormal levels may indicate issues with fertility, pregnancy, or hormone-related disorders.

Purpose of the Progesterone Test:

1. Monitor Ovulation:

   • Used to determine if and when ovulation occurs, aiding in fertility assessments and treatments.

2. Evaluate Pregnancy Health:

   • Helps assess and monitor the health of early pregnancy, as low levels of progesterone may indicate a risk of miscarriage or other complications.

3. Investigate Menstrual Irregularities:

   • Helps diagnose causes of irregular or absent menstrual cycles, including conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or luteal phase defects.

4. Monitor Hormone Therapy:

   • Used to track hormone levels in women undergoing fertility treatments or hormone replacement therapy.

5. Diagnose Ectopic Pregnancy or Miscarriage Risk:

   • Abnormal progesterone levels can be an indicator of an ectopic pregnancy or potential miscarriage.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Preparation for the Test:

• Fasting: Fasting is not required for this test.
• Timing: Timing is important, especially in women. The test is usually conducted during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (7 days after ovulation) or at specific times during pregnancy, as progesterone levels fluctuate throughout the cycle.
• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect progesterone levels.

Collection Method:

• A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The sample is then analyzed in the laboratory to measure progesterone levels.
