Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Progesterone levels will be elevated in normal luteal phase also, so by this the possibility of pregnancy cannot be told.
Your prolactin levels are normal.
For urine pregnancy test you have to wait for your expected date of periods and if you cross the date, wait for one more week and go for test.
That will give accurate results.
If you want earlier result you can go for blood test for pregnancy.
