Order Progesterone Level Lab Test (Blood)Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the ovaries after ovulation and, during pregnancy, by the placenta.

About Progesterone Level Lab Test (Blood) in Manhattan Beach
Progesterone level testing is used to assess ovulation, support fertility evaluation, and monitor certain hormone therapies.
Progesterone rises in the second half of the menstrual cycle, known as the luteal phase, as the corpus luteum forms after an egg is released. Because of this pattern, the timing of a blood draw relative to the cycle strongly influences the result, and clinicians often schedule testing on a specific cycle day.
Measurement of progesterone can help confirm that ovulation has occurred, evaluate a suspected luteal phase deficiency, and assist in monitoring ovulation induction or assisted reproduction protocols. During early pregnancy, progesterone levels may also be followed to support assessment of corpus luteum function.
Results are interpreted alongside the date and time of collection, menstrual history, and other hormone tests such as estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and by the phase of the cycle, so values should be read in the context provided by the reporting lab.
