Purpose of the Progesterone Blood Test

Female hormone testing is an important tool for tracking fertility. Progesterone is a hormone produced in the ovaries that is vital to the menstrual cycle and supports pregnancy and fetal growth. A test of progesterone helps:

  • Determine the cause of infertility
  • Track ovulation
  • Diagnose a failing pregnancy
  • Determine the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Monitors an expecting mother’s health as well as therapy associated with progesterone replacement

What Does the Test for Progesterone Measure?

Progesterone testing measures the level of this hormone in your blood.

Who Should Take a Progesterone Lab Test?

Women having difficulty conceiving can get valuable information from a test for progesterone. This test can be part of infertility work-ups or ovarian function tests. It may also be used by women undergoing infertility therapy as a way to monitor their treatment.

Progesterone Testing Preparation

You don’t need to do any special preparation for the blood draw.

Progesterone Test Results

High levels of progesterone are one indicator of a possible pregnancy. However, elevated progesterone may also be a sign of potential health issues, including cysts or ovarian cancer, or a problem with the adrenal glands. A progesterone deficiency may cause miscarriage and infertility. You should discuss any abnormal results, low or high, with a physician. You may also need more prenatal testing to pinpoint your fertility issues.
