Proov Confirm PdG Implantation Test - Progesterone Scoring System - 1 Kit | Pregnancy Readiness Test - FDA Cleared Advanced Women’s Fertility & Hormone Tracker - Use with Ovulation Tests - Non-Invasive

I am pleased with the Proov test and elated there is a test available to confirm ovulation. Which help me even more on my TTC journey. Fertility can be overwhelming to say the least, the more I am able to learn about my body the better. I had a very early miscarriage at 5 weeks in 2017. I am currently TTC our rainbow baby. So I started doing research and I learned about progesterone and its role in the early stages of pregnancy. Something I never knew about before! I’ve never had my progesterone tested. My GYN recently gave me a referral to see a RE. But before spending hundreds of dollars on testing; I figured if I could test for ovulation and pregnancy at home, why not progesterone?! I decided to search for an at-home progesterone test and found Proov. Here are my results: Aug 26:CD 8 I took baseline test which was negative Sept 2: CD 15 Peak fertility- Positive LH Surge using OPK Sept 5: CD 18 I was 3 days past peak fertility and began testing to confirm ovulation. I used natural progesterone cream. Sept 6: CD 19 Proov test-Negative; I started having some brown spotting; immediately began to suspect this was due to low progesterone Sept 7: CD 20 Proov Negative; more brown spotting Sept 8: CD 21 Proov test- Negative, very faint pink line visible; however PDG seem to be near rising when compared to baseline test; I continue to have more brown spotting. I use the natural progesterone cream, then discontinue using it because I read in the Q&A section of the Proov instructions that natural progesterone could affect the results. *Sept 9: CD 22 Proov test-Negative, very faint pink line visible on test strip; brown spotting continues; after checking with “Dr. Google” I thought the spotting may be due to implantation or low progesterone *Purchased more of the Proov test because the instructions stated to stop testing when Proov tests turns positive (single line). I really wanted to see if I would in fact get a positive result with a single line. Moreover, I want to gain more knowledge about my reproductive health and my body. Also, I was elated that the tests arrived the very next day with Prime shipping. I am a POAS addict, even a day felt like a week lol. Kudos to Amazon for next day shipping!!👏🏽 Sept 10: CD 23 Proov test- Near positive, PDG appeared to be near rising; scant brown spotting Sept 11: CD 24 Proov test- Positive?? Near Positive?? PDG rising?? The test appeared positive at 5 minutes then a faint pink line started to appear after about 7 minutes, at 15 minutes a second line was clearly visible. I was a bit confused, I thought test remain positive if my PDG was over 5 ug/ml?; also continued to have brown spotting. Sept 12: CD 25 Proov test -Positive?? Near Positive?? PDG rising?? The test appeared faintly positive at 5 minutes then a pink line started to appear after about 7 minutes, at 15 minutes a second line was clearly visible. I continued to have brown spotting which was unusual for me. I’ve experience spotting during previous cycles, but not off and on for nearly a week. So I contact my GYN and she had me come in right away. I had a pelvic exam and turns out I had an endometrial polyp, which I’ve never had before. My GYN removed the polyp and ordered additional testing. Sept 13: CD 26 Proov test- Positive??. Only 1 line. (There was a very, very faint pink line at 15 minutes, however per the instructions, results are not to be read after more than 15 minutes). Decided to test the next day for good measure. Sept 14: CD 27 Proov test- POSITIVE. Single line only. No faint lines. Ovulation confirmed. See picture #1 for positive test result on 9/14 See picture #2 for comparison of the Proov test I took today 9/14 to my baseline test taken on 8/26. See picture #3 for my Proov test progression lines. I wanted to share my experience using the Proov test for the first time. Sometimes I read reviews and expect my results to be the same as others but everyone body is different. Using the Proov test gave me some really valuable info about my body. Highly recommend giving the test a try. *UPDATE 12/1/19 I am currently 3 days post peak fertility. I took a Proov test today and got a positive result! I am so excited to be able to confirm ovulation. I’m scheduled to have blood work done soon. Seeing a positive result just makes me feel so happy. Baby dust to all my mamas on this TTC journey.

Proov gave me valuable insights into my cycle that I wouldn't have had otherwise. It helped me identify that my PdG was dropping too early, which gave me the confidence to discuss my concerns with my doctor. The app was easy to use, and seeing my hormone trend made me feel much more informed about my fertility. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to better understand their cycle!

Inaccurate and faulty test. They advertise as FDA approved & even for use by PCOS patients. Which led me to buy into the hype of all the good reviews and over look the bad ratings on Amazon. Check out Amazon to read other ladies 1 star reviews, you will see this was NOT an isolated experience. It is ridiculous that this keeps happening! The tests were awful for that second line not going away (on these tests, no second line would mean I ovulated and my progesterone level is rising) Every one of them had not just faint lines, but faint lines with color in them (suggesting I had not ovulated and had low progesterone). Side note: I purchased before my drs appt but ended up using them anyway. Not only were they inaccurate & but also faulty. I followed directions Exactly as specified and the test line never went away. 1 of the 7 tests didn't even progress across the window. For $40 for 7 tests thats ridiculous. They ALWAYS still showed a second pink line (it was faint but there) by Proov's standard means that I did not ovulate. Which is not true because I had extensive lab testing done and tracked BBT and opks. I was also very disappointed in the fact that if you take 3 different photos of the same test within the correct time frame, each photo you upload to their App Reader gives you a different Rating. I deleted them off the app but still have the photos. You will get a different Result Rating in their app if you use a flash or brightly lit bathroom versus a dim bathroom that will not washout the photo making the App reader even more inaccurate. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. For $5 more you can go online and order your own lab test to have your progesterone serum checked for $45 no insurance necessary by a qualified lab like Quest Diagnosics and Lab Corps.

Proov tests have been a game changer in building my confidence with charting my cycles. I've been using them for over a year to confirm ovulation (since I already know that I have low progesterone and don't need them as much for that purpose). I also chart temp and mucus signs, but these are an important confirmation for me when things look confusing. Make sure when you use them to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Taking a baseline test before you ovulate is important - because your progesterone may be too low to turn the test completely positive, but high enough to confirm ovulation (if your post peak proov is lighter than your baseline, it's enough to confirm ovulation, and then you can also test later in your luteal phase to see if progesterone is high enough to sustain the beginnings of a pregnancy). Take photos of the test within 5-10 minutes of testing because the results are invalid outside of that window. Use first morning urine. Did I mention you should read and follow the directions? ;) There is also a Facebook group for Proov users that is super helpful with asking questions, posting test photos, etc. So join that if you can because it will help to talk to people about the process, because these tests are different than other kinds of test strips. In all, I'm super happy with these. They have saved me a LOT of bloodwork appointments, and anxiety of making sure I marked the right ovulation date on my chart. They seem pricey, but you only need to use 1-4 tests per cycle (your baseline is good for 6 months, and you don't need to test every day post ovulation to get the info you need), so they last a while. I use them every cycle and buy about 3 packs per year. Totally worth it to save the hours of waiting at a bloodwork appointment, having to take off work to go during lab hours, etc. when I can just pee in a cup. If you do discover that you have low progesterone, then this is really helpful to bring to your doctor and talk about getting a post peak bloodwork series done to get more information, and hopefully a prescription for bio-identical progesterone to support your body (and a pregnancy) if you need it.

*Edit: I gave this test a second chance and I did end up getting the results I need on the next cycle after my error from below. I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and realize my previous frustration was definitely user error. Now I will say this may not work for everyone but it worked for me and after 3 long years we had success. ———————————————————————— I feel as if this test is defective. I received an inconclusive diagnosis. The ink did not rise but i saw one line 3 times. And one test had a faint line. I messaged the Proov team and the assured me that the test was working even though I did not see the ink rise to the line like I have with LH strips. My first practice test had a reading of 7.0, first official test was 4.1, my second test dipped to 2.3, but then my final test rose back up to 3.8. If you have pcos, beware of this test. It will cause you more anxiety and grief than you would need while trying to conceive.

UPDATE: July 6dpo: No need to wait till 7dpo my stick went as white as it could at 5dpo and 6dpo just for good measure. My only concern is that after 5minute time frame the purple handled strips start to develop some sort of line. It looks light grey to light pink. And the package says to not to read beyond 15 minutes. So does it need that much time to develop? I do not know. But I am satisfied that it did pick up on my ovulation. I would still recommend and advise to follow the instructions to use fmu. Also, the bottom test is an LH strip taken at the same time to show a comparion. I already ovulated with very dark opks. The one in the pic (light blue is negative). Thank you and many blessings for bfp out there. **UPDATE: July 2019: The product has changed to PROOV little purple test strips. Not the same quality as before. I used one test with saved old fmu(top) and the other(bottom) with a 3 hour hold fresh urine(late afternoon). The old fmu was lighter than the fresh sample. Granted I am only 3dpo and expected some type of line. I will reupdate at 7dpo to show what the tests look like. I am not on any fertility drugs and diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I have posted a pic. Babydust Update May 2018: I figured out what time a day to take test and wullah. The test goes blank at peek progesterone level. It does work effectively enough to show some type of ovulation. Update: I am updating my post after receiving clarification on my tests I took. I will be using them again next cycle to see what negative results look like. Mine for this cycle (except the ones with a dye run) were positive. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Completely disappointing. I took tests fmu 6dpo fmu, 7dpo fmu and 7dpo smu. I had to wait 8 hours for my tests to get in but used it with fmu 6dpo. It came out with a very faint line that dried darker. I was troubled because I know I ovulated. I track it with temps and opks. And I experience horrible ovulation pain. So I test with fmu 7dpo the next day and the the test was blank at 5 minutes. It then immediately started turning into a dye run. I couldn't believe it. The instructions say not to read past 10min but there was nothing to read past 5. So I do it again with the same urine and this time I get a super faint line showing up almost immediately. Then at the 5 min mark its barely there at all. And you guessed it, drys with a dye run. At this point I'm furious. I really expected to see nothing at all. So, I wait for the fmu to go cold so I can test like I did the first time on old fmu. I test it and right away a test line starts forming. Its a fat pink line but faint. And no dye run. I could cry. I'm so confused. I decide to use another test because at this point I realize I've wasted my money anyway. Its 7dpo smu and the test line shows up faintly but there. It does not dry with a dye run. But it has a line going through it that is whitish but the top and bottom of the test line are visible. End state...my head hurts. I'm attaching the pic of the tests. I have no idea if I ovulated with a decent number or not. Because any line means a poor ovulation. I'm tempted to waste another 40 dollars for a real blood test today. Top two tests 6dpo and 7dpo cold fmu Middle two tests both warm fmu 7dpo Last test smu 7dpo (no hold) (the camera has a hard time picking up the test lines that are there)

I’ve used Proov Confirm several times to track ovulation and hormone levels after experiencing recurring pregnancy loss, and it has been an invaluable tool in my fertility journey. The test strips are easy to use, provide clear results, and give me the reassurance I need about my hormone levels. I’ve also used several other Proov products, including their pregnancy tests, Proov Reserve, and the Balancing Oil, and I’ve been completely satisfied with each one. The quality is excellent, and the information they provide has helped me feel more in control of my fertility. Beyond the products themselves, Proov offers amazing customer support. Anytime I’ve had a question, their team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Proov to anyone trying to conceive or looking for insight into their hormonal health. Their products have truly made a difference for me!

UPDATE: This test is not accurate and I would avoid it if you are having trouble conceiving- it will just cause confusion and unnecessary anxiety. I waited to update my review until after my first ultrasound, confirming my pregnancy/fetal heartbeat. For two weeks I’ve been scared to death that I was experiencing a chemical pregnancy or worse, an ectopic pregnancy because I had previously tested with Proov days 7-10 post ovulation and got negative results all 4 days! According to the Proov test results my progesterone was too low to have successfully ovulated and after getting positive pregnancy tests, I bought more boxes of Proov test strips and continued to monitor PDG to see if it was increasing. It did increase slightly and that gave me some relief but since this is not what the test is designed for, I really did not know what the results should be at this early stage of pregnancy. I was concerned the lower levels of progesterone could be the result of an ectopic pregnancy! The ultrasound confirmed this is not the case. At this point I regret having ever used Proov- unfortunately I do not recommend this product at all. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I’m so confused by the results of this test, please let me explain. I have been trying to conceive for 7 months and I came across Proov in an Instagram ad. I decided to try it because while I was getting positive Lh surges when taking ovulation tests, I was failing to get pregnant. The results of the first month testing PDG with Proov were negative all 4 days, and they were quite low (1.8 avg.) I was very concerned and brought these results to my doctor. He had never heard of Proov but was very interested and agreed that measuring PDG in urine is more accurate than a blood test. Nonetheless, we planned for bloodwork following my next cycle that would also coincide with testing at home with Proov. The next cycle came, I used ovulation tests at home, timed intercourse, 7 days later tested with Proov, then went in to the lab for blood work the same day. My Proov results this cycle were higher than the previous cycle but still too low to indicate successful ovulation, (3.0 avg) Bummer. Then I waited for my period thinking we would try again in a couple weeks. Period didn’t come! Took a pregnancy test... it was positive?! Well that’s weird because the Proov test said I didn’t ovulate successfully. Now I’m on pins and needles thinking I am having a chemical pregnancy- I’m worried there’s no way it’s going to “stick” since my progesterone is too low, or is it?? I call the doctor’s office impatiently asking for the results of my blood work and I inform them of the latest news. To my surprise and confusion, the results are good. My blood work indicated high enough levels of progesterone and that I had successfully ovulated, and I’m still pregnant but still on pins and needles!! I honestly don’t know how I feel right now. I’m definitely not letting myself get excited about the pregnancy yet. I actually ran to Target to quickly buy another box of Proov test strips and I have been testing every morning since I got the positive pregnancy test and my numbers keep rising but they are still below 5. I don’t even know how high the progesterone should be at this stage of pregnancy. The bottom line is- I don’t know if this test is giving me real, valid results or if it is causing me unnecessary anxiety about a chemical pregnancy or worse, future miscarriage. Everything that I know is true would validate the later- I’m currently pregnant despite Proov saying that I didn’t ovulate. And sadly, I’m still very worried and not excited at all about finally getting a big fat positive! I will update this review as things progress either way in the hopes that these details help someone else.

I started using these tests after 7 unsuccessful cycles when trying to conceive. I used it on 4 cycles and 3 of them showed lower progesterone. When I did progesterone blood test it showed high levels, at the same time I was using proov. On the day of the blood positive test proov was also showing positive result, however following 3 days showed lower results. This straight away alerted me and confirmed why my luteal phase was shorter (12 days at the time). I waited required 1 year before seeing GP for fertility issues even though I knew that my chances are slim, that was my last hope for my body to come back to normal, however it didnt. When I went to see fertility consultant due to proov results I had evidence that I have a luteal phase defect due to low progesterone. He straight away suggested ovulation induction as treatment of chose, which was my preferred option. Thanks to proov I was confident when going into fertility appointment. I am currently 2 cycles into the treatment and already seeing positive signs on my cycle, so fingers crossed! Would highly recommend proov for anyone who hasnt conveived naturally after 6 months just to check if everything is OK.

The ability to confirm ovulation without seeing a dr and getting bloodwork done is invaluable for trying to conceive on your own!

Zum herausfinden, ob eine Ovulation tatsächlich, regelmäßig und/ oder an welchen Zyklustagen sie stattfindet, sind diese Teststreifen optimal. Leider sehr teuer aber wenn die Nachfrage steigt...

Diese Tests zeigen an ob der Eisprung wirklich stattgefunden hat und man Progesteron produziert. Für mich eine ideale Ergänzung zum Ovulationstest

Great tests, help me a lot to understand my Progesterone level and suitability for pregnancy.
