Progesterone is a type of estrogen released by the ovaries. After ovulation in normal women,
levels of progesterone rise in the body, usually peaking within 7 - 10 days. When the ovary is not functioning properly, progesterone is not produced enough to provide a suitable endometrial environment for ovulation, resulting in difficulty in conception. Pregnanediol-3-Glucuronide (PdG) is the main urine metabolite of progesterone and is positively correlated with blood progesterone levels. PdG (Pregnanediol-3-Glucuronide) Rapid Test (Urine) can detect whether the PdG level in urine is elevated, PdG levels can be measured
for several consecutive days to assess ovarian function and determine ovulation. Serum progesterone measurement is the most commonly used method to evaluate the luteal function of ovary. However, because the progesterone changes constantly during the luteal phase, a single progesterone value cannot accurately evaluate the luteal function. In addition,
the current method of determination of progesterone is cumbersome and expensive, and multiple blood collection brings trauma and inconvenience to the subjects. Using PdG
(Pregnanediol-3-Glucuronide) Rapid Test (Urine) can help women more accurately track ovulation and conception. If conception occurs, the PdG will remain elevated. If conception
does not occur, the PdG test will return to negative before menstruation.
