A reproductive endocrinologist prescribes tests to check hormones released from sex organs. A serum progesterone test measures the level of the hormone progesterone and indicates whether ovulation has occurred. A follicle-stimulating hormone blood test reveals whether a woman has enough healthy eggs for fertility.
HER2/neu testing may be done at the same time as hormone receptor status testing. A patient with a positive estrogen and/or progesterone receptor status may find their response to endocrine therapy diminished if they are also HER2/neu-positive. Hormone receptor status testing is not available in every laboratory. It requires experience and special training to perform and interpret.
