What advantages can you gain from undergoing a Progesterone Ovulation Blood Test? 

Progesterone is a vital hormone in preparing the body for potential pregnancy.

 Following ovulation, progesterone levels gradually increase, reaching their peak around day 21 of the menstrual cycle. 

It is recommended to conduct a test on this day, as it aligns with the approximate peak of progesterone levels. Progesterone plays a crucial role in thickening the uterine lining, creating an optimal environment for a fertilized egg to attach. 

The residual follicle transforms into a corpus luteum, a normal cyst that develops on the ovary monthly, responsible for sustained progesterone production. If there is no embryo implantation, progesterone secretion from the corpus luteum diminishes over the subsequent 14 days.
