Biomarkers

Progesterone
Progesterone is a vital hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating the female menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. After ovulation each month, it is produced in the ovaries and helps prepare the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) for the possible implantation of a fertilized egg. If implantation does not occur, progesterone levels decrease, triggering menstruation. During pregnancy, progesterone helps maintain a healthy environment for the developing embryo and fetus. Abnormal progesterone levels can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and may contribute to challenges in conceiving or sustaining a pregnancy.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. While its primary function is to stimulate milk production after childbirth, it also plays a key role in various other bodily processes, including metabolism, immune system regulation, and pancreatic development. Both men and women produce prolactin, but its levels typically increase during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and periods of stress. Abnormal prolactin levels—whether too high or too low—can signal conditions such as prolactinoma (a benign tumor of the pituitary gland), hypopituitarism, and issues related to fertility or sexual health. Monitoring prolactin levels can provide important insights into your overall health and help identify underlying medical concerns.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol (also known as estradiol) is the primary female sex hormone and a key player in the menstrual cycle. It is the dominant form of estrogen during a woman’s reproductive years and is essential for the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and the regulation of the menstrual cycle and reproductive system. Beyond reproduction, oestradiol is crucial for maintaining bone density, regulating body temperature, and supporting cognitive function. Imbalances in oestradiol levels can lead to a range of health issues, including infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and menopausal symptoms. Monitoring oestradiol levels is important for understanding and managing hormonal health.

Information

Why take the test?
The Ovulation Progesterone Blood Test measures progesterone levels in your blood, providing valuable insights into your fertility. Low progesterone levels may indicate that ovulation has not occurred, making conception unlikely that month. Conversely, high progesterone levels suggest that ovulation has taken place, increasing the chances of pregnancy. Low progesterone can also be linked to other issues such as heavy menstrual flow and a higher risk of miscarriage during pregnancy. With each test, you’ll receive not only your results but also expert insights from our certified doctors. This test is particularly beneficial for women planning a pregnancy, as it helps determine whether your body is releasing healthy eggs capable of being fertilized.
Additional Insight from Dr Sameer Nakedar, MBBS, MRCGP, PGCert
Ovulation refers to the release of an egg from the ovary. Understanding progesterone levels is crucial for women who are experiencing difficulty conceiving or undergoing fertility assessments.

When this test is taken at the optimal time, low progesterone levels suggest that ovulation did not occur. In some cases, the result may be borderline, making it unclear whether ovulation has happened. In such situations, it may be advisable to repeat the test at a later date to gain a clearer understanding of your fertility status.

Additional Information
There are several types of ovulation progesterone blood tests that can help determine whether you are ovulating, including the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge test, basal body temperature (BBT) test, and post-coital test.

LH Surge Test: This test measures your LH levels to detect the surge of luteinizing hormone, which occurs right before ovulation. A rise in LH indicates that ovulation is imminent.

Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Test: This involves taking your basal body temperature every morning before getting out of bed. Monitoring changes in your temperature can help identify patterns that suggest ovulation.

Post-Coital Test: This test involves taking a sample of your cervical mucus after intercourse to check if the sperm are motile. The presence of active sperm indicates that ovulation has occurred.

If you’re unsure which test is best for you, it’s important to speak with your doctor for personalized guidance.

Have you experienced any of the symptoms listed below?

The Progesterone Blood Test is ideal for individuals who are planning a pregnancy and want to assess their hormonal levels, women experiencing symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), those with an irregular menstrual cycle, or anyone noticing significant mood changes. Monitoring progesterone levels can provide valuable insights into reproductive health, help diagnose hormonal imbalances, and support fertility efforts.

%

of infertility cases are caused by failure to ovulate
According to the NHS, a significant percentage of infertility cases are linked to ovulation issues. Progesterone is a key marker for ovulation, making it an important hormone to monitor when planning a pregnancy. If progesterone levels do not rise in the latter phase of the menstrual cycle, it may indicate an anovulatory cycle or corpus luteum insufficiency, both of which can contribute to infertility.

%

of women in the UK may have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
According to the NHS, while the exact number of women affected by Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) remains undetermined, it is estimated that one in ten women may have the condition. More than half of these women may not display noticeable symptoms, making a Progesterone Blood Test crucial for identifying whether treatment is necessary.
Experts Opinion on Ovulation Progesterone Tests
In a typical menstrual cycle, progesterone levels rise after ovulation and usually peak about five days later. They are typically highest around seven days before the next period, which corresponds to the 21st day after the start of the last menstrual period. A sufficient progesterone level suggests that ovulation has likely occurred. If pregnancy happens, progesterone levels continue to rise. Therefore, this test is valuable for determining whether a woman has ovulated and released an egg, providing insight into her fertility.

FAQs

What do the results of an ovulation blood test mean?
The results of an ovulation blood test primarily measure progesterone levels. If progesterone levels are elevated, it indicates that ovulation has occurred successfully. Low progesterone levels may suggest issues with ovulation or the development of the corpus luteum, which could affect fertility. If progesterone levels are abnormally high, it could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy or a molar pregnancy, both of which require immediate medical attention. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a full interpretation of the results and next steps.
What should progesterone levels be to indicate ovulation?
Progesterone levels should typically exceed 10 ng/mL to indicate that ovulation has occurred. However, this threshold can vary slightly depending on the laboratory conducting the test and the specific timing of the blood draw within the menstrual cycle. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider for a more precise interpretation based on individual circumstances and lab-specific reference ranges.
Where do I send my sample?
Once you’ve collected your sample, you’ll receive a prepaid return label to easily send it back to our accredited lab for analysis. Detailed instructions, including how to return your sample, will be sent to you via email to ensure a smooth and straightforward process.
What do I need to do before my test? i.e. fast, no drinking, etc
If fasting or restricting alcohol intake is required before your blood test, we will provide personalized instructions via email after you place your order. However, most of our tests can be taken without any need for fasting or special preparation.
When will I get my results/how will I receive my results?
Your results are typically processed within 2 to 3 working days. If your sample is sent over the weekend (which we do not recommend), you will receive your results within 2 to 3 days from Monday. Once your results and personalized report are ready, you will be notified via email to log in to the Welzo online platform to view them.
What are the progesterone levels after ovulation?
Progesterone levels generally peak 7-10 days after ovulation. Following this peak, progesterone levels gradually decline and return to pre-ovulation levels by days 21-24 of the menstrual cycle.
Why is progesterone tested?
Progesterone is a key hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle and prepares the body for pregnancy. A progesterone test measures the level of this hormone in the blood or urine to assess various aspects of reproductive health. It can confirm whether ovulation has occurred, evaluate fertility, or monitor hormone therapy. Low progesterone levels may suggest issues with ovulation or corpus luteum development, while high levels could indicate conditions such as ectopic or molar pregnancy.
What if my results show that I’m outside the normal range?
If your results fall outside the normal range and raise concern, it is important to contact your GP or emergency services immediately by calling 111 or 999. Please remember, if you feel unwell or have any health concerns, you should seek medical attention without waiting for your results.
