Can someone please explain how this test is done and what is the interpretation .
What does positive and negative mean here .
I searched earlier replies on this topic and found this:
"if there is no withdrawal bleed after a progestin challenge, it's an indication that the deficiency is "further up the tract", so to speak. the ovaries are not producing sufficient estrogen, either as a primary deficit, secondary deficit (fsh + lh), or tertiary deficit (gnrh.)
if a withdrawal bleed occurs, it means that the ovaries and uterus are connected and functioning properly, the vagina is patent, and a sufficient amount of estrogen is being produced (which generally indicates proper functioning of lsh, fh and gnrh.)
i find it more helpful to think of anovulatory cycles not as "too much estrogen", but rather, "not enough progesterone", hence the reason for the progestin challenge. "too much estrogen" should be the link you draw to endometriosis."
However I still dont get it completely Not enough atleast to pick an answer within seconds in the real test .
