I will keep it to the point.

Can anyone tell me how Progesterone Intolerance is diagnosed?

Is there a blood test or skin pick test for this or is it just based on history?

I am under a NHS gynecologist but I am looking for possible private options.

Thanks

    They can do a Progesterone allergy test which is a skin prick test that is done in 3 steps. However it is somewhat difficult to find a doctor that does this as many still believe that you can not be allergic to progesterone as your body produces it. But you can. Do you live in the US or UK? I know a few places in the US that do the testing.
