# Progesterone

> This test measures the level of progesterone, a hormone produced by the ovaries after an egg is released. It helps determine if ovulation has occurred and evaluates whether the body is producing enough hormones to support a pregnancy. Doctors often use this measurement to investigate causes of infertility or to check the health of the placenta during early pregnancy. However, this test alone cannot diagnose the specific underlying cause of fertility issues or guarantee a successful pregnancy.
