The clinical meaning will differ depending on the age of the patient. In general, it often means there's been no recent ovulation, but it makes more sense to discuss the finding with your own health care provider, who is most familiar with your situation.

menstruation occurs when?
When estrogen and progesterone levels are low, shedding of the endometrial layer (menstruation) occurs.
When the progesterone level is 1.5 in a pregnant woman will it mean miscarriage?
Progesterone can be low for two different reasons. It can be predicting a failing pregnancy, or it can just be that your body is having a hard time producing it and you need a hormone supplement. 1.5 is a very low progesterone level. Most doctors like you to be no lower than 10. If you are bleeding or have any other miscarriage symptoms along with it, I am sorry to say, you may be miscarrying. Hopefully you are not, and the doctors can get you on a prescription ASAP. The best of luck to you! In the future, you can always have the doctor check your progesterone levels at a non-pregnancy time to rule out if you have a progesterone imbalance, or if your levels were just low because of a failing pregnancy.
Normal menstruation occurs when?

If the doctor took your blood to check progesterone levels what does that mean?
Progesterone is not pregnancy related. It is a hormone that increases in your blood prior and during your period. It means he is checking to see if you have ovulated that cycle. High progesterone levels indicate that you have ovulated. http://thefertilityshop.com

How does progesterone play a role in a feedback mechanism?
"The corpus luteum synthesizes progesterone, estradiol, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone. The increased progesterone levels affect the thermoregulatory site in the hypothalamus and increase the core body temperature. Negative feedback from the increased release of estradiol and progesterone from the corpus luteum results in decreased serum LH and FSH levels in the luteal phase. If conception has not occurred, FSH levels increase again at the end of the luteal phase as the progesterone and estradiol levels decrease. The decrease in progesterone and estradiol levels results in shedding of the endometrium-i.e., menstruation. LH pulse frequency is high (90 minutes) and of low amplitude in the follicular phase. The pulse frequency and amplitude increase immediately before ovulation".

If your daughters progesterone levels came out high but shes had no period whats that mean?
Progesterone levels usually start to elevate when an egg is released from the ovary, rise for several days, and then either continue to rise with early pregnancy or fall to initiate menstruation. If progesterone levels do not rise and fall on a monthly basis, a woman may not be ovulating or having menstrual periods. If levels do not rise normally during an early pregnancy, the pregnancy may be ectopic and/or may be failing. If serial measurements do not show increasing progesterone levels over time, there may be problems with the viability of the placenta and fetus. Levels of progesterone will be naturally higher during pregnancies that involve multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) than those in which there is only one fetus. Increased progesterone levels also are seen occasionally with luteal ovarian cysts, molar pregnancies, and with a rare form of ovarian cancer. Increased levels are occasionally due to an overproduction of progesterone by the adrenal glands.
