The FAQ "How can I get confidence intervals for predicted probabilities
after probit?" located at http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/ciprob.html
might be helpful.

> Subject: st: Calculating Standard Errors of Predicted Probabilities in
> Probit Models
>
> I am running a probit model with towns in Massachusetts as my
> observations, and the dependent variable being whether or not the town as
> implemented a particular policy. After running the model I calculate the
> predicted probabilities for all towns. I want to compare these
> probabilities for TWO specific towns - are they significantly different
> or not? I was hoping to perform a t-test to figure this out, but need the
> standard errors of the predicted probabilities to do this.
>
> The predict command will give me the standard errors of the linear
> prediction - is there a way, from that information, to calculate the
> standard error of the predicted probability? Or is there some OTHER way
> to test the hypothesis that these predicted probabilities are the same (or
> different)?
>
> Thanks for your help!
