What do the results mean?
If your progesterone levels are higher than normal, it may mean you:
Are pregnant
Have a cyst on your ovaries
Have a molar pregnancy, a growth in the abdomen that causes symptoms of pregnancy
Have a disorder of the adrenal glands
Have ovarian cancer
Your progesterone levels may be even higher if you are pregnant with two or more babies.
If your progesterone levels are lower than normal, it may mean you:
Have an ectopic pregnancy
Had a miscarriage
Are not ovulating normally, which can cause fertility problems
If you have questions about your results, talk to your health care provider.
