Does high progesterone mean pregnancy?

Question

I recently got my progesterone levels checked, and they were quite high. Does having high progesterone levels always mean that one is pregnant, or could it indicate something else? I'm trying to understand the results.

When I was trying to conceive, my progesterone was quite high, but honestly I only trusted the positive line on the urine kit.

Progesterone naturally goes up to support pregnancy, but it's not a 100% confirmation. You should take a regular urine test or beta hCG for accuracy.

Yes, it mostly indicates pregnancy, but do a home test after a few days to be absolutely sure.

It's the hormone that prepares your uterus for the baby. Post my C-section recovery, I realized how complex our body's hormone levels really are.

I also got high progesterone levels in my blood test and got so anxious. Did u get a positive urine test result too?
