ProovPdG Test | 5 Progesterone Metabolite Test Strips | Only FDA Cleared Test to Confirm Successful Ovulation at Home | 1 Cycle Pack | Works Great with Fertility, Pregnancy & Ovulation Tests

This has truly helped me get a basic understanding of my fertility. As someone with PCOS trying to conceive it can be difficult, as I am also using OPK tests but want to confirm my ovulation as well since I have a tendency not to ovulate or have irregular periods sometimes due to high levels of stress. I have done other hormone tests/labs but had never had my progesterone tested before and after having a chemical pregnancy I became worried it might have been my that caused it. But the proov strips have given me some peace of mind in regards to my levels as they seem to be at a good level during implantation even if I didn't conceive my first cycle using them. I didn't realize before buying these that they cap at 7 so initially I was worried so I may buy the complete tests soon but I am hoping we will have our baby soon❤️🌈

Trying to conceive while later in life is stressful. I have done the full kit and purchased additional PDG since I still have LH strips from other purchases. Not included in this specific pack but the Proov LH strip was more accurate then my Clear Blue ovulation kit to determine ovulation day. I struggled with getting the pictures to upload into the app a couple of times (and user error- also uploaded a few upside down) however customer service was amazing. They have been able to correct my readings any time I did it incorrect or I could not get the app to load and they were quick to respond each time. Using the PDG kit has helped me with seeing my levels that no other kit has been able to do so.

I started with buying the PDG strips for my first cycle TTC. I'm 33 and wanted to have all of the information I could get about my fertility. I found the strips hard to read and using the app to take a clear picture was difficult. I ended up getting slightly positive result on days 7, 8, 9 and a negative on day 10 (the most important day). I already questioned these results because I felt like I ALWAYS saw a faint line which meant negative. My day 10 strip looked identical to all of the other days, I have pictures of them - but that one was somehow marked a negative by the app. This filled me with a ton of worry and stress that my progesterone was lacking and that I'd have a hard time keeping a pregnancy. I reached out to Proov support to see if there's any way this was an error? I've always had regular periods, no pre-period spotting, etc. (all of the things they tell you to look for with low progesterone) and she essentially said there is no error and that my progesterone is low and she would recommend supplementation.The next month, I bought a new box of PDG strips, as well as their FSH, LH and pregnancy tests. My FSH came back "Normal" but in the high range for someone my age, which meant my egg count was declining and it could be harder for me to get pregnant. The LH strips never got as dark as the control line (despite the fact that I had clear LH positives on the easy@home brand for 4 cycles in a row like clockwork). I confirmed ovulation with temping so I'm confident I ovulated. Then I did the PDG strips again and my results were even worse than last time. Two positives and two negatives according the the app (one of them on day 10). I'm also confident I saw a faint line on all 4 of them in person, which would make them all negative.Well, imagine my surprise when we successfully got pregnant (and stayed pregnant) on only our 2nd cycle trying. According to all of my poor results on literally all of their tests that cycle, and being 33 years old, this should have been very difficult. To add insult to injury, their "early detection" pregnancy tests were the very last ones to confirm my pregnancy. I'd had clear positives for days on digitals, first response and easy@home. Save your money, this company is trash and they prey on women TTC.

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 negativeSept 2: CD 15 Peak fertility- Positive LH Surge using OPKSept 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 progesteroneSept 7: CD 20 Proov Negative; more brown spottingSept 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 spottingSept 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 9/14See 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 12/1/19I 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.
