After setting up a baseline of Progesterone in the blood, a surgeon will carry out mid-luteal serum Progesterone fertility tests for females approximately day 21 of menstruation or if urinary LH predictor tests show a positive sign with ovulation, seven days post this test is positive.

Luteinizing hormone

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) attracts the ovaries to release an egg and begin generating Progesterone (a hormone that makes the uterine prepare to nourish the fertilized egg. LH can be traced in a woman’s urine before ovulation takes place. This test helps in forecasting the ovulation to assess this enhancement of LH through a urine sample.
