PROGESTERONE

The progesterone test measures the level of progesterone, a hormone produced by the ovaries, in the blood. Progesterone plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy, and preparing the body for conception. This test is used to evaluate ovulation, diagnose hormonal imbalances, and monitor pregnancy. Elevated progesterone levels can indicate ovulation or pregnancy, while low levels suggest anovulation or luteal phase defects. The progesterone test provides valuable information for assessing reproductive health, diagnosing endocrine disorders, and guiding treatment decisions.
