Abstract: Embodiments relating to methods, processes and systems for measuring progesterone are provided. In particular, methods permit measurement and quantification of synthetic and/or endogenous progesterone from a progesterone-containing blood fluid sample by measuring a progesterone carbon isotope ratio by mass spectrometry and calculating the fraction of synthetic progesterone in the sample from the isotope ratio. Also provided are methods of evaluating bioequivalence of a synthetic progesterone composition using any of the methods provided herein. In an embodiment, methods of precise measurements of plasma levels are described for detection of progesterone analytes such as total progesterone, endogenous animal progesterone, and synthetic progesterone. Correcting for fluctuations in endogenous progesterone levels following application of synthetic progesterone allows a significant reduction in the number of test subjects required to evaluate bioequivalence of a synthetic progesterone composition.
