PROGESTERONE, LC/MSMS 0017183

The Progesterone test is used to help determine the cause of infertility, track ovulation, help diagnose an ectopic or failing pregnancy, monitor the health of a pregnancy, monitor progesterone replacement therapy, or help diagnose the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. The best time to check the progesterone is at specific times during a woman’s menstrual cycle to determine whether/when she is ovulating, during early pregnancy when symptoms suggest an ectopic or failing pregnancy, throughout pregnancy to help determine placenta and fetal health, periodically when a person is receiving progesterone replacement therapy, or when a woman has abnormal uterine bleeding.
