Serum Progesterone

A progesterone test measures progesterone, an ovarian steroid hormone, in the blood. Progesterone is vital in pregnancy. In smaller amounts, men produce progesterone.

A progesterone test is used to diagnose infertility, monitor a high-risk pregnancy, determine ovulation days, and detect ectopic pregnancy. Aside from pregnancy, high levels can indicate ovarian cancer and cysts. If progesterone levels don't fluctuate monthly, a woman may not ovulate or have regular periods-an infertility trigger.

You may need to be tested multiple times because progesterone levels fluctuate during pregnancy and menstruation.

Why done? 

• Tracking ovulation can help identify female infertility.
• To detect an ectopic pregnancy 
• To monitor progesterone hormone treatment.
• To monitor fetal and placental health, especially in high-risk pregnancies.
