Progesterone

£39.00

Progesterone is an essential reproductive hormone that plays a key role in the menstrual cycle, ovulation, fertility, and pregnancy. Measuring your progesterone level can help determine whether ovulation has occurred, assess hormone balance, and provide valuable information when investigating fertility or menstrual concerns.

The Progesterone Test measures 1 important hormone to evaluate progesterone levels in your blood. It is commonly used to confirm ovulation, support fertility assessments, monitor certain stages of pregnancy, and investigate hormonal conditions affecting reproductive health.

This test can be completed using either a finger-prick home sample or a professionally collected phlebotomy sample, making it a convenient option wherever you choose to test.

Understanding Your Progesterone Results

Progesterone levels naturally rise after ovulation during the second half of the menstrual cycle. Measuring this hormone at the correct time provides valuable information about your reproductive health and whether ovulation has taken place.

For women with a regular menstrual cycle, the sample is usually collected around day 21 (approximately 21 days after the first day of your last period). If your cycle is irregular, testing is generally recommended around 7 days before your expected next period.

A rise in progesterone levels typically indicates that ovulation has occurred, making this test particularly useful during fertility investigations.

In addition to confirming ovulation, progesterone testing may also be recommended for:

  • Assessing fertility and reproductive hormone balance.
  • Investigating irregular or absent menstrual periods.
  • Monitoring hormone levels during early pregnancy when clinically appropriate.
  • Supporting the investigation of conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • Evaluating hormonal health alongside other reproductive hormone tests.

Health Indicators Included

Hormones (1 Health Indicator)

Hormones regulate many essential body functions, including reproduction, menstrual cycles, fertility, and pregnancy. Measuring progesterone provides valuable insight into ovulation, reproductive health, and overall hormonal balance.

Biomarker Included:

  • Progesterone
Progesterone

Progesterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries after ovulation. It prepares the lining of the uterus for pregnancy, supports early pregnancy, and plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle.

Because progesterone levels change throughout the menstrual cycle, the timing of the test is important for accurate interpretation. Measuring progesterone can help confirm whether ovulation has occurred and provide useful information when investigating fertility concerns, menstrual irregularities, or other hormonal conditions.

Although present at much lower levels in men, progesterone also serves as a precursor for the production of several important hormones, including testosterone and cortisol, and may occasionally be measured as part of a broader endocrine assessment.
