Progesterone test
Progesterone is one of the body’s key reproductive hormones, essential for preparing the uterus for pregnancy, supporting implantation, and maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle. Imbalances in progesterone can affect ovulation, fertility, and overall hormonal health. The Progesterone Test (Blood) from GetTested provides a clear picture of your progesterone status and helps identify whether low levels may be linked to irregular cycles, fertility challenges, or other hormone-related symptoms.
What is progesterone?
Progesterone is produced mainly by the ovaries after ovulation and plays a key role in preparing the uterine lining for a possible pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs, progesterone supports implantation and helps maintain the pregnancy. Beyond reproduction, progesterone also contributes to overall hormonal balance, influencing mood, sleep, and energy.
Why measure progesterone?
Testing progesterone levels provides valuable information in situations such as:
- Confirming ovulation and luteal phase sufficiency
- Investigating causes of irregular or absent cycles
- Evaluating fertility issues or difficulties conceiving
- Monitoring hormone balance during perimenopause or menopause
- Assessing unexplained symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, or sleep disturbances
Symptoms of low progesterone
Low progesterone levels may cause:
- Irregular or missed periods
- Difficulty conceiving or maintaining pregnancy
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with mood swings or irritability
- Sleep disturbances or fatigue
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Anxiety or low mood

- Are trying to conceive and want to confirm ovulation

The sample is sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis, and your results are delivered digitally, giving you secure and convenient access to your hormone health insights. For those who prefer a needle-free option, GetTested also offers a saliva-based progesterone test.
