Endocrine / Hormones
Also known as: Progesterone Blood Test, Serum Progesterone Test, Progesterone Level Test
If you are pregnant and experience symptoms like severe cramping or bleeding, contact your clinician immediately or seek urgent care, as these could be signs of a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
This test checks the amount of progesterone in your blood. Progesterone is a hormone mostly made by the ovaries. It helps your doctor see how your body makes and controls hormones. This is especially important for your period and when you are pregnant.
Doctors often order this test to help figure out problems with getting pregnant. It can also check if an egg is released each month. The test helps doctors keep an eye on a healthy pregnancy. It can also look into unusual bleeding from the uterus.
Progesterone levels vary widely depending on your menstrual cycle phase, pregnancy status, and individual factors. Reference ranges are approximate and can differ between laboratories.
