A member asked:
Is it normal to have low progesterone levels after getting off birth control? i have noticed i now have spotting 5 days before my period is due.

Progesterone levels: Progesterone levels are low during the first half of the menstrual cycle. Mid cycle the LH hormone surge occurs releasing a corpus luteum cyst. This cyst produces Progesterone causing levels to rise. In premenopausal women the Progesterone levels must be interpreted knowing the day of the cycle. Typically Obgyns do not test Progesterone levels routinely for this reason.
