A common misconception with ovulation tests is that they tell you specifically when you are ovulating, which sadly isnât true. Ovulation predictor kits actually work by testing for the luteinizing hormone (LH) which is the indicator of your body preparing to release a matured egg.
A progesterone test is done to confirm ovulation. When a follicle releases its egg, it becomes what is called a corpus luteum and produces progesterone. A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle.
