Los niveles de progesterona varían dependiendo de cuándo se hace el examen. Estos niveles comienzan a elevarse en la mitad del ciclo menstrual, continúan elevándose durante aproximadamente 6 a 10 días y luego disminuyen si no se presenta la fecundación.

  • En la mujer (preovulación): menos de 1 ng/mL
  • En la mujer (mitad del ciclo): 5 a 20 ng/mL
  • En el hombre: menos de 1 ng/mL
  • Posmenopausia: menos de 1 ng/mL

  • Segundo trimestre del embarazo: 25.6 - 89.4 ng/mL
  • Tercer trimestre del embarazo: 48.4 - 42.5 ng/mL

Nota: ng/mL = nanogramos por mililitro
