Levels of urinary pregnanediol, following 100 to 300 mg oral dosing, are much higher than levels seen in women during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, which taken at face value could be misconstrued as overdosing.

Monitoring ovarian function by the simultaneous time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay of two urinary steroid metabolites

According to the 1999 edition of Tietz' Textbook of Clinical Chemistry, "Urinary assays are considered to reflect the secretory activity of the endocrine glands." (10) The textbook also states that "urinary free cortisol and the measurement of urinary free estradiol, estrone, and testosterone have been shown to provide clinical information that can reflect the production rates of these steroids."10 Moreover, 24-hour urine testing for pregnanediol (progesterone metabolite) is the best biochemical assessment of ovulation based on progesterone production.
