What it measures
- Progesterone — The main hormone measured; levels rise after ovulation and during pregnancy.
- Collection timing — The date of the sample relative to your cycle is recorded because it affects interpretation.
- Related hormones — Sometimes estradiol, LH, or FSH are measured at the same time for context.
Preparation
No fasting is usually required. Timing matters: the sample is often drawn about 7 days before the expected next period, or on a day your clinician specifies, so tell the lab the first day of your last period.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number with a reference range that varies by cycle phase, pregnancy, and menopause. A clinician interprets your value along with your symptoms, cycle timing, and other tests. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
