Default What is a progestorne test?

I started clomid on Wed and I happen to notice in my paper work from my dr that on the 24th I have to go for a progestrone test. What is it? Is it a needle or a urine test? Anyone have this done before?
Thanx girls

A progesterone draw, sometimes referred to as a P4, is a simple blood draw.
The results should tell if you have Ov'ed yet or not, and how strong/good the Ov was. Anything over 5 indicates Ov. When assessing the quality though, they like to see 15 or higher on medicated cycles.

It is best to have it on 7dpo. It sounds like your doctor is just checking to see if Ov has occurred though, rather than on it's quality. So they will most likely tell you "yes" or "no" and this can be misleading because you could Ov later in your cycle. Just something to keep in mind.
