Serum Progesterone | Measures circulating progesterone level to evaluate ovulatory function or pregnancy support. |

Key Part | Description |
Sample Type | Serum (blood sample). |
Test Method | Typically uses immunoassay or chemiluminescent detection. |
Measured Value | Progesterone level reported in ng/mL or nmol/L. |
Reference Range | Varies by menstrual phase or pregnancy status. |
Interpretation | Explains the clinical meaning of the result. |
Normal Range for Progesterone Report
Category | Reference Range (ng/mL) |
Follicular Phase | 0.2 – 1.5 |
Ovulation Phase | 1.5 – 5.5 |
Luteal Phase | 5.0 – 20.0 |
Postmenopausal | <0.5 |
Pregnancy – First Trimester | 11.2 – 90.0 |
Pregnancy – Second Trimester | 25.6 – 89.4 |
Pregnancy – Third Trimester | 48.4 – 422.5 |
Parameters to Consider in Progesterone Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Low Progesterone | May suggest anovulation, luteal phase defect, or risk of miscarriage. |
Elevated Progesterone | Indicates ovulation, healthy luteal phase, or pregnancy. |
Peak Timing | Sample ideally taken ~7 days after ovulation (Day 21 in a 28-day cycle). |
Contextual Testing | Often paired with LH, FSH, and estradiol for fertility assessment. |
Guidelines for Progesterone Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Timing Matters | Mention cycle day or pregnancy trimester for accurate interpretation. |
Units Consistency | Report in ng/mL (or convert to nmol/L if required). |
Follow-Up Advice | Repeat testing or additional hormone panels may be needed. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Low | May indicate no ovulation or insufficient luteal support. |
Normal (Luteal Phase) | Suggests successful ovulation and corpus luteum function. |
High (Pregnancy) | Confirms progesterone support for maintaining pregnancy. |
Progesterone Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
Serum Progesterone | Assesses ovulatory function, menstrual cycle phase, and pregnancy health. Essential for fertility evaluations and hormonal balance monitoring. |
