This test measures progesterone levels in the mid-luteal phase to confirm ovulation, along with related hormones such as luteinising hormone (LH) and oestradiol where relevant. It assesses luteal phase adequacy and hormonal balance for fertility evaluation.
Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually serum tube) by a finger-prick kit at home or in one of our UK clinics. Our kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.
Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).
Progesterone & mid-luteal hormones testing is a key blood test used in fertility assessments to evaluate ovulation and reproductive hormone function. It checks progesterone levels during the mid-luteal phase (typically day 21 of a 28-day cycle) to confirm if ovulation has occurred and if the luteal phase is supporting potential pregnancy. This test helps identify issues like luteal phase defects, anovulation, or hormonal imbalances that may contribute to infertility. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.
a hormone produced after ovulation that prepares the uterus for pregnancy; levels above 30 nmol/L confirm ovulation.
triggers ovulation; assessed for surge patterns in fertility investigations.
supports follicular development and uterine lining; helps evaluate overall cycle health.
A venous blood sample is required (collected in a gold-top serum tube). Timing is critical: the sample must be taken in the mid-luteal phase, about 7 days before expected menses or day 21 for regular cycles. No fasting is needed, but inform us of your cycle length for accurate timing guidance. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.
High progesterone indicates successful ovulation and corpus luteum function.
Identifies luteal phase deficiencies or anovulation in women struggling to conceive.
Part of broader assessments for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis.
Tracks response to fertility drugs like clomiphene or assisted reproduction cycles.
You may be advised to take a progesterone & mid-luteal hormones test if you have any of the following signs or risk factors: - Difficulty conceiving: Irregular cycles, absent periods, or suspected anovulation. - Symptoms of hormonal imbalance: Mood swings, breast tenderness, or spotting mid-cycle. - History of miscarriage: To check luteal phase support for early pregnancy. - Fertility treatment planning: As part of IVF or ovulation induction monitoring. For example, a woman with irregular periods may have low progesterone indicating lack of ovulation. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

Progesterone & mid-luteal hormones testing measures key reproductive hormones, primarily progesterone, during the second half of the menstrual cycle to assess ovulation and fertility potential.
It is often ordered for fertility assessments, irregular cycles, or when ovulation issues are suspected, helping diagnose causes of infertility.
No special preparation is usually required, but the sample must be timed correctly in your cycle. Track your periods and avoid testing during menstruation.
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a needle. It is quick (often under 5 minutes) and routine. You may feel a brief pinch; afterwards, a bandage is applied. There are minimal risks.
Risks are very low. You might experience slight pain or bruising at the needle site, which usually resolves quickly. In rare cases, a small bruise or feeling faint can occur.
Results are typically available within 2–3 working days. Swift Blood Tests provides a detailed doctor’s report explaining your results. You will be notified by email or phone as agreed.
Yes. Swift Blood Tests offers a convenient home sample collection kit (finger-prick or small tube) with instructions, or you can choose a clinic appointment. Follow the included instructions to collect and return the sample by post.
Cycle irregularities, recent hormonal medications, or stress can influence levels. It’s best to mention any current health conditions or medicines when you discuss results with the doctor.
Low progesterone may indicate lack of ovulation or luteal phase defect; high levels could suggest other issues. Your doctor will interpret any out-of-range values and may recommend follow-up tests.
This test is intended for adults (18+). If testing is needed for a child or teenager, please consult with a paediatric specialist or contact us for guidance.
