Progesterone is mainly produced by luteal in earl',' period of pregnancy. After 12 weeks the placenta becomes the main source of progesterone. In cases of ectopic pregnancy, progesterone levels are usually lower. A cross-sectional descriptive study was implemented on 2 groups: Group 1: 450 cases of suspected ectopic pregnancy laparoscopy (401 cases were correctly diagnosed; 49 cases were not ectopic pregnancy); Group 2: 100 cases intrauterine (gestational age from 4-7 weeks). Both groups were tested on the concentration of progesterone. The result showed that the average amount of progesterone of intra-uterine river was: 22.38 + or - 8.96 ng/ml (10.32-44.51 ng/ml) and of ectopic pregnancy are: 6.86 + or - 4.81 (0.25-45 ng/ml). The difference is statistically significant with p 0.05. 89.2 percent of ectopic pregnancy patients had the progesterone concentration 15 ng/ml. In contrast 85 percent of intrauterine patients had progesterone concentration 15ngjml.
