About Progesterone

Progesterone is a key hormone produced after ovulation and is essential for preparing the body for pregnancy and maintaining a regular menstrual cycle. It also plays a role in mood, sleep, and overall hormonal balance.

Low or imbalanced levels may be associated with irregular cycles, fertility challenges, or PMS-related symptoms.

How It Works

Order your test kit online and collect a finger-prick blood sample at home. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis, and you receive your results digitally in a clear and easy-to-understand format.

Blood vs Saliva Testing

While we also offer a saliva-based test, this blood test measures the total amount of progesterone in the bloodstream.

Blood tests are often preferred for clinical accuracy in confirming ovulation and are considered the gold standard for reproductive hormone monitoring.

A saliva-based option is also available for those who prefer a needle-free method.

Sample Collection

The sample is collected using a simple finger-prick blood test (DBS) at home.

You collect a few drops of blood and send the sample to the lab for analysis. The method is quick, minimally invasive, and easy to perform.

For Ovulating Women

Progesterone should be measured in the luteal phase, around one week after ovulation (typically day 19–23 in a 28-day cycle) for the most accurate results.

ISO-Certified Lab and Analysis

Your sample is analyzed in an ISO-certified laboratory using Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), a highly sensitive and widely used method for hormone measurement.

Biomarkers included

• Progesterone: Progesterone is a female sex hormone primarily produced by the ovaries after ovulation and by the placenta during pregnancy. It plays a crucial role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy, maintaining pregnancy, and regulating the menstrual cycle. Progesterone levels naturally fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle. Low levels can lead to irregular periods, difficulty conceiving, or complications

How to prepare

You take the test on an empty stomach in the morning. **24 hours before:** Avoid alcohol, caffeine, intense exercise, and smoking. For ovulating women: Progesterone should be measured in the luteal phase, around one week after ovulation (typically day 19–23 in a 28-day cycle) for the most accurate results.

Frequently asked questions

How does it work? / When do I get my results?

1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.

What do low progesterone levels mean?

Low levels may indicate that ovulation did not occur (anovulation), a short luteal phase, or an imbalance relative to estrogen levels. This can lead to symptoms like irregular periods, mood changes, and difficulty maintaining a pregnancy. Findings should always be discussed with a specialist.
