To check progesterone levels in the body, a Serum Progesterone Test is done. This test is usually performed through a simple blood test, often around day 21 of the menstrual cycle if checking for ovulation. Your doctor will guide the timing of the test based on your cycle or pregnancy status to interpret the results accurately.

Today is the 14th day of my cycle, and my follicle study shows that the follicle has ruptured. Does this mean my chances of pregnancy are good. Is this a positive sign in my report. I am a bit confused because the ovulation kit showed a negative result, but the scan confirms follicle rupture.

I am 10 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. My report shows low lying posterior placenta with lower pole covering internal os and short cervix too. What does this mean? Should I be worried? What precautions should I take? I already had 2 miscarriages in the past due to an incompetent cervix. Please help.

I have been trying to conceive for one year without success. All my reports are normal, my ultrasound is normal, and my husband male panel and sperm analysis are also normal. I am very frustrated and do not know why it is taking so much time or what to do next.
