What will the progestrone level test tell me?

Question

I just had my progestrone level blood test today. If it's high enough, when should I test for pregnancy? If it's not high enough, what do I do from there?

Answer 1

Below are a few reasons why progesterone levels are tested.  Low progesterone levels are easily treated.  As far as when to test, I dont think the progesterone level will indicate possible pregnancy, at least not at this point.  I suggest you wait until you miss your period.  Good luck

When is it ordered?

Progesterone levels are measured:  

As part of an infertility assessment, when a woman is having trouble getting pregnant and the doctor wants to verify that she is ovulating normally  

To determine if ovulation has occurred and when following drug therapy to induce ovulation  

When symptoms, such as abdominal pain and spotting, suggest an ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage  

To monitor the effectiveness of treatment when a pregnant woman requires progesterone injections to help maintain her pregnancy  

To monitor placenta and fetal health during a high-risk pregnancy  

When a non-pregnant woman is experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding
