Why You Need This Test

The Progesterone Lab Test is a vital diagnostic tool for evaluating reproductive and hormonal health in both women and men. Progesterone is a key hormone that plays a central role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting conception, and maintaining early pregnancy.

This test is especially recommended for:

• Women experiencing infertility or recurrent miscarriages
• Those with irregular periods or abnormal uterine bleeding
• Monitoring hormonal balance during pregnancy
• Diagnosing conditions like PCOS, luteal phase defects, or adrenal disorders

In men, abnormal progesterone levels can indicate adrenal or testicular dysfunction, making this test valuable for comprehensive hormonal assessment.

Early detection of imbalances enables timely intervention, improving fertility outcomes and overall health.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

You may need the Progesterone Lab Test if you experience:

• Irregular or missed menstrual cycles
• Difficulty getting pregnant
• Recurrent miscarriages
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Mood swings, fatigue, or unexplained weight changes
• Suspected hormonal imbalance or ovarian disorder
• Monitoring during fertility treatment or pregnancy

For women, testing around day 21 of the menstrual cycle (luteal phase) provides the most accurate assessment of ovulation and progesterone production.

Natural Production

Progesterone is naturally produced:

• In women: By the ovaries after ovulation (corpus luteum), and during pregnancy by the placenta
• In men: In small amounts by the adrenal glands and testes

It helps:

• Prepare the uterine lining for implantation
• Maintain early pregnancy
• Regulate mood, sleep, and metabolism

Factors like stress, age, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or thyroid issues can disrupt progesterone levels—leading to fertility challenges or hormonal symptoms.

What Happens If Untreated

Ignoring abnormal progesterone levels can lead to:

• Infertility due to poor ovulation or luteal phase defects
• Recurrent pregnancy loss or early miscarriage
• Irregular or absent periods
• Increased risk of endometrial hyperplasia (due to unopposed estrogen)
• In men: Hormonal imbalances affecting energy, libido, and well-being

Early testing allows for targeted treatment—such as progesterone supplementation or lifestyle changes—to restore balance and improve outcomes.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate results:

• No fasting is required
• Inform your doctor about hormonal medications (e.g., birth control, HRT, fertility drugs)
• For women: Schedule the test around day 21 of your cycle (unless advised otherwise)
• Avoid supplements or creams that may affect hormone levels

The test involves a simple blood draw (serum sample) at a certified lab.
