Do I need to fast for a progesterone and HCG test?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the progesterone and HCG test does not require fasting. It is fine to have a meal before the test, as there is no impact. The main purpose of the test is to check for pregnancy, and fasting is not necessary. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for the test as early as possible. Getting the results sooner can guide your further treatment options. If you are trying to get pregnant, it is important to confirm it early. If your progesterone levels are low, it is necessary to supplement them in a timely manner.
