P4 (Progesterone) & LH (Luteinising Hormone)
Pinpoint your ovulation window and confirm progesterone rise.
This test measures two key reproductive hormones: progesterone (P4) and luteinising hormone (LH). It is used to assess ovulation, evaluate the luteal phase, and investigate fertility concerns. It can help identify the timing of ovulation, confirm that ovulation has occurred, and detect potential hormonal imbalances that may affect conception. The test is suitable for anyone trying to conceive, investigating irregular cycles, or monitoring fertility treatment.
The analysis is performed using a highly sensitive immunoassay, providing accurate and reliable results.
Progesterone (P4)
- Progesterone: A hormone produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation. Rising levels confirm that ovulation has taken place and help assess the quality of the luteal phase.
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
- Luteinising hormone (LH): A hormone that triggers ovulation. Measuring LH helps predict the timing of ovulation and can indicate conditions such as PCOS or pituitary disorders.
Why it matters
Understanding your progesterone and LH levels can provide valuable insights into your ovulatory function and help guide fertility planning or treatment. It can also help identify issues such as luteal phase defect, anovulation, or hormonal imbalances that may require further investigation or management.

No special preparation required.
For blood tests, we recommend drinking plenty of water beforehand to ensure smooth sample collection. If you are taking any regular medication, continue to do so unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
