Progesterone measures a hormone that plays a role in ovulation and supporting early pregnancy. It suits people tracking their cycle or wanting an additional marker alongside fertility monitoring.
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
Progesterone is a hormone involved in ovulation and in supporting the early stages of pregnancy. Testing it is commonly used to help track ovulation timing or add to a wider picture of hormone health, rather than as a stand-alone answer on fertility.
Among comparable progesterone tests we track, Blue Horizon's £64.25 is more expensive than Medichecks and London Medical Laboratory at £39, Forth at £44 and Randox Health at £45, though it undercuts Better2Know's £175 clinic test and £195 home kit. This shows up in a modest value-for-money score, since the price sits well above the comparison-group median. Where it does well is collection convenience, scoring the maximum because you can choose an at-home finger-prick, a clinic visit or a nurse home visit, with results back quickly.
Clinical depth and clarity both score well for a single-marker test: the listing sets out a short description, the biomarker, turnaround and collection options clearly. Results are reviewed by a doctor. Blue Horizon Medicals works with UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and has traded since 2009.
This suits people who want the flexibility of testing progesterone at home, at a clinic or with a nurse visit, and who value a fast, doctor-reviewed result over the lowest price. If cost matters more than flexibility, Medichecks and London Medical Laboratory offer the same single-marker test for £39, and Forth and Randox Health for £44 to £45.
If you specifically want a home test kit and price is less important, Better2Know's version costs substantially more at £195.
You can collect your sample as an at-home finger-prick, or by venous draw at a clinic or with a nurse home visit. Once the sample reaches the lab it is analysed for progesterone, with results back within a day and reviewed by a doctor before you see them.
This single-marker progesterone test can be done as an at-home finger-prick or a clinic blood draw, with results back within a day and reviewed by a doctor. At £64.25 it costs more than named peers from Medichecks, London Medical Laboratory, Forth and Randox Health, which run £39 to £45, though it is cheaper than Better2Know's £175 to £195 versions. The main trade-off is price rather than convenience.
