Progesterone testing determines the levels of hormone progesterone in a blood sample. Progesterone is a female hormone produced by the ovaries that primarily helps to prepare a woman’s body for pregnancy.
Progesterone is decreased in primary or secondary hypogonadism, and short luteal phase syndrome. A short luteal phase may make it more difficult for a woman to conceive. Progesterone levels can be measured during the menstrual cycle to better understand when a woman is most capable of conceiving.
Progesterone testing helps to determine whether or not a woman has ovulated, when ovulation occurred, and monitor the success of induced ovulation.
