Progesterone......


Progesterone is more commonly requested, to help determine the cause of Infertility, by seeing if us ladies have ovulated.

This Blood Test is carried out at specific times, during a women menstrual cycle (our Period) this is to determine whether or when a women is ovulating and producing eggs, sometimes however during early pregnancy, where if there is symptoms of an ectopic or falling pregnancy.

On a monthly basis, the Hormone Oestrogen causes the lining of our womb or uterus to grow and replenish itself, while a surge in LH (Luteinising Hormone) leads to the release of an egg from one of the two ovaries. Then a small yellow mass of cells then forms in the ovary at the site where the egg was released and begins to produce Progesterone.

If you have a normal and regular menstrual cycle (period) standard 28 day length, Progesterone will normally peak approximately at day 21 of your period. Day 1 being the 1st day of menstruation.

If women are having troubles getting pregnant, having a Progesterone Blood Test, along with other hormone Blood tests, can verify that you are indeed ovulating normally, again the timing will depend on the length of your menstrual cycle, it can also determine if ovulation has occurred following drug therapy , as part of your Fertility treatment.
