A single blood test measuring progesterone, most often used to confirm ovulation partway through your cycle, but also used to monitor pregnancy or investigate suspected PCOS. Suits anyone tracking a specific point in their cycle.
1 biomarker as listed by London Medical Laboratory.
Progesterone rises sharply in the second half of the menstrual cycle if ovulation has occurred, so testing at the right point in your cycle, typically around day 21 for a regular 28-day cycle, or roughly 7 days before your next period if your cycle is irregular, is commonly used to confirm ovulation. The same marker is also used to monitor progesterone through pregnancy and can form part of investigating conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome.
As a single-marker test, its clinical depth score reflects that it measures exactly the one hormone it sets out to, rather than being marked down for narrowness, since depth is not the point of a progesterone-only comparison. On price, £39 ties with Medichecks' Ovulation Progesterone Blood Test for the cheapest option among the 6 progesterone tests we compare it with, well below the £45 group median and far below Better2Know's £175 and £195 versions.
value for money scores well for matching the cheapest option in the group. Collection convenience is strong, with a finger-prick option and results back within a day. Trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report across London Medical Laboratory's range.
This suits you if you want to confirm ovulation at a specific point in your cycle, for example while trying to conceive, or if you need repeat progesterone checks during pregnancy or as part of investigating irregular cycles.
Timing matters more than provider choice here: this test is tied with Medichecks' Ovulation Progesterone Blood Test as the cheapest option we track, both at £39, so there is little to choose between them on price. Discuss timing and results with a GP or fertility specialist if you are using this to help investigate fertility concerns.
Provide a sample via at-home finger-prick kit (plus £3.99 postage), venous draw at a partner clinic (plus £35), or a home visit from a phlebotomist. The lab measures your progesterone level, and a doctor reviews the result before you receive your report, typically within a day.
This test measures progesterone alone, most commonly taken around day 21 of a regular cycle (or 7 days before your period, if irregular) to check whether ovulation has occurred. At £39 it is tied with Medichecks' Ovulation Progesterone Blood Test for the lowest price among the progesterone tests we compare it with, and considerably cheaper than Better2Know's £175 and £195 versions. It can be done from a finger-prick sample with results back within a day.
