This test is valuable in the detection of ovulation. It can also be used to monitor progesterone replacement therapy and to evaluate the risk for early miscarriage. Progesterone is a hormone naturally secreted by the ovary during the menstrual
cycle. The Progesterone Test is used to measure ovarian function and can
determine if a woman has ovulated and when the ovulation occurred. A significant
deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your
physician.
