Hi, Thanks for the query. Progesterone is the hormone of the luteal phase. It rises after ovulation and it is thermogenic hormone. But usually the temperature will come to normal after one go two days of ovulation. Sustained rise can be seen in conditions like external progesterone supplementation or pregnancy etc. So you wait till your expected date of periods, if you miss the periods go for pregnancy test. For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum. Take care.
