What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're trying to conceive, experiencing irregular periods, or monitoring a pregnancy. It measures progesterone levels to confirm ovulation, assess fertility issues, and ensure your hormone levels support a healthy pregnancy. Many women use this test when they're having difficulty getting pregnant or want to track their ovulation cycle more precisely.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your progesterone levels mean for your fertility, ovulation, and reproductive health. These notes include personalized recommendations like timing for conception, lifestyle changes, or whether you should follow up with a fertility specialist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your progesterone levels over time using our trends feature to monitor your cycle patterns and see how interventions are working.

How should I prepare for this test?

No fasting is needed for this test, making it convenient to schedule at any time of day. However, timing within your menstrual cycle is important - your doctor may recommend testing on a specific day (often day 21 of a 28-day cycle) to accurately assess ovulation. If you're taking progesterone supplements or hormonal medications, let your healthcare provider know as this may affect interpretation.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for women trying to conceive who want to confirm ovulation is happening, those with irregular menstrual cycles or fertility concerns, and women in early pregnancy to ensure adequate hormone support. It's also useful if you're undergoing fertility treatments, have a history of miscarriage, or are experiencing symptoms like spotting, mood changes, or unusually short cycles.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

You may benefit from this test if you're experiencing irregular or absent periods, difficulty getting pregnant after several months of trying, or spotting between periods. Other signs include short menstrual cycles (less than 25 days), mood swings and anxiety during certain parts of your cycle, or a history of early miscarriage. Women in early pregnancy experiencing cramping or spotting may also need progesterone monitoring.

How can I naturally support healthy progesterone levels?

Supporting progesterone naturally involves managing stress through yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises, as chronic stress can suppress production. Eating foods rich in vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium (like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains) helps support hormone production. Maintaining a healthy body weight, getting adequate sleep, and reducing excessive exercise can also help balance progesterone levels.

What is progesterone and why does it matter?

Progesterone is a hormone produced mainly by the ovaries after ovulation that prepares the uterus for pregnancy and helps maintain early pregnancy. It thickens the uterine lining so a fertilized egg can implant and develop, and low levels can make it difficult to conceive or maintain a pregnancy. Progesterone also regulates your menstrual cycle, affects mood and sleep, and plays a vital role in overall reproductive health.

What does low progesterone mean?

Low progesterone may indicate that ovulation isn't occurring regularly, which can make it harder to conceive or suggest a shortened luteal phase. During pregnancy, low levels can increase the risk of miscarriage as there isn't enough hormone to support the developing embryo. Other causes include stress, thyroid problems, excessive exercise, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

What does high progesterone mean?

High progesterone levels outside of pregnancy are less common but may occur with ovarian cysts, certain adrenal gland disorders, or molar pregnancy. During pregnancy, elevated levels are normal and expected as progesterone increases to support the developing baby. If levels are unusually high and you're not pregnant, your doctor may want to investigate further or check for medication effects.

How often should I retest my progesterone levels?

If you're tracking ovulation for fertility, you may test monthly during the expected ovulation window (typically cycle day 21) until conception occurs. During early pregnancy, your doctor may monitor levels every few days to weeks if there are concerns about miscarriage risk. Once levels are stable or treatment is established, testing every few months or as recommended by your healthcare provider is typical.
