Who should take this test
If you want to learn more about your menstrual cycle and ovulation, then the LetsGetChecked Progesterone Test can provide you with key insights. Ovulation is the process in which an egg is released from an ovary and typically happens on a monthly basis. Many things can impact ovulation, including age as well as certain medical conditions. If ovulation is irregular, it can impact your ability to get pregnant. The LetsGetChecked Progesterone Test measures the amount of progesterone in your blood on day 21 of your menstrual cycle.
You should consider taking this test if:
You would like insights to help confirm that you are ovulating You are interested in learning more about fertility insights related to your hormones You would like to understand your levels so that you can work with your provider on options available to you Sometimes progesterone is tested during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, we do not recommend that you take this test. Please consult with your healthcare provider for next steps.
When to test
Your sample must be collected 7 days before an expected period. When this occurs will depend on your cycle. If you usually have a 28-day cycle, you should collect your sample on day 21 of your cycle (21 days after your period starts). You should collect your sample in the morning, on a Monday-Friday. Collect and return your sample on the same day. It may be necessary to wait until day 21 of your cycle falls on a Monday to Friday. To interpret your progesterone test results, it is important to know when in the menstrual cycle the sample was collected. The reference ranges for all phases will be included on your lab report. If your period is absent or unpredictable, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. Your results may be affected if you have been taking hormonal contraceptives within the last three months. We recommend that you talk to your healthcare provider about the most suitable tests for you.
What's measured?
Progesterone
Progesterone makes the lining of your uterus grow thicker so that a fertilized egg can attach (implant) to the uterus. Progesterone levels usually start to rise when an egg is released from the ovary (ovulation). Levels continue to rise for several days and for those with a 28-day cycle, will normally peak on day 21 of the cycle (with day 1 being the first day of menstruation). If progesterone concentrations do not rise and fall on a monthly basis, it can be an indication that someone is not ovulating.

Great instruction and very fast service. My readings came back the same day you recieved the package. that's been the case now with all 3 of the hormone tests I've done.
This was my first time on which I ordered the female hormone tests and I will definitely take advantage of other health tests. Highly recommended but specially for people with hectic/busy schedules.
100% would use LetsGetChecked again...they give you everything you need to draw the blood...Very clear, straightforward report.
I had an ovary reserve test and hormone test done...1/10 of the price of what it would cost at a doctor’s office...Highly recommend.
Wow I’m so impressed at how fast and easy the entire process was. I received my results within about 48hrs and detailed explanation and level of each hormone that was tested. 5 stars
Amazing product, incredible customer service, and overall great experience! I’m so glad I ordered the Female Hormone Test!
I like the simplicity and ease of use...I also liked that this was the first company I found that has an ovarian reserve test!...We now have some confirmation and direction for our next steps...
I got tests done for female fertility...results came back quickly...really happy with their services...I liked the fact that it was removed from the rigmarole of making an appointment with my doctor...
The service was professional, good value and easy to use. The results were quick. I was expecting to see more detail in my results but basically it gives you an indication of fertility.
