The Progesterone test measures the level of progesterone, a hormone produced primarily by the ovaries in women and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands in both men and women. Progesterone plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting ovulation, and maintaining pregnancy.
This test is commonly used to evaluate ovulation, fertility, menstrual irregularities, and pregnancy health. It may also be used to assess hormonal balance in individuals with symptoms related to progesterone deficiency or excess. Results are often interpreted alongside estrogen, FSH, and LH levels for a complete reproductive hormone assessment.
