Progesterone (Ovulation)

Test your progesterone levels for reproductive health, pregnancy monitoring and diagnosis of certain medical conditions. Progesterone is an important hormone during the menstruation cycle and pregnancy which helps not only maintain uterine health and increase fetal development but also protects the uterus. And here is the reason why this test is important:

• 
  Evaluate Fertility Issues:
  Check if your ovaries are releasing eggs (ovulating) normally - this may reveal the cause of infertility and guide treatment options.
  
  Monitor Pregnancy Health:
  Check progesterone levels in evaluating risk for miscarriage; in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy; or with high-risk pregnancies to evaluate the effectiveness of progesterone therapy.
  
  Understand Abnormal Bleeding:
  Diagnose causes of abnormal uterine bleeding while not pregnant for treatment or hormonal therapy.
  
  Diagnose Underlying Conditions:
  Identify ovarian cancer, adrenal gland disorders or other hormonal problems which could be triggering low or high progesterone levels in both males and females.
