Service Providers for Progesterone
The progesterone test measures the level of progesterone hormone in the blood. It's used to assess ovulation, monitor pregnancy, and diagnose conditions like infertility or hormone imbalances. Preparation usually involves fasting or avoiding certain medications. The test is done via a blood draw, typically during a specific phase of the menstrual cycle. Risks are minimal, including slight pain or bruising at the injection site. Results are interpreted based on the timing of the test, with higher levels indicating ovulation or pregnancy. Low levels may suggest issues like ovarian dysfunction, miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy.
