Four main hormones control the menstrual cycle, and therefore play a big role in fertility: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone. A healthy balance among these hormones gives you the best chance at conceiving. Compared to a snapshot of just one hormone, understanding how all four hormones fluctuate throughout your cycle gives better insight into the fertility puzzle.
Traditional ovulation predictor tests like Proov Predict measure just one hormone (luteinizing hormone) to identify your two most fertile days, but this is only one piece of the fertility puzzle. Proov Complete provides extensive additional data to help you better understand your hormone balance, your cycle, and get set up for success. In addition to measuring LH, you’ll measure FSH to assess your ovarian reserve, E1G (a marker of estrogen) to identify your longest possible fertile window, and PdG (a marker of progesterone) to understand ovulation quality as your body prepares itself to support implantation. Plus, the companion Proov Insight app provides lab-level numerical results, details on what your results mean, and action plans to support your goals — it’s like having a fertility coach in your pocket!
Proov Confirm measures only PdG (a marker of progesterone), which helps you understand ovulation quality as your body prepares itself to support implantation. In contrast, Proov Complete provides a more thorough picture of your overall hormone balance by measuring all four main cycle hormones: follicle stimulating hormonen (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), E1G (a marker of estrogen), and PdG (a marker of progesterone). Proov Complete is a patented full-cycle testing system that helps you assess ovarian reserve, identify the longest possible fertile window, and confirm ovulation quality. The result: the best possible insight into your chances of conception.
Proov Complete is a patented full-cycle testing system designed to support your goals throughout your entire cycle. Each woman’s testing protocol is different, customized to your unique hormone patterns via the Proov Insight app. You’ll begin by uploading some basic cycle data, then follow the easy app prompts to know exactly which test to take on which day. You’ll test on many days throughout your cycle, but will also have some days on which you don’t test — while this feels weird, it’s totally normal to have testing gaps! It’s important to note that the Proov Complete protocol begins on cycle day 5, counting cycle day 1 as the day your period begins. If you receive your Complete kit after cycle day 5, you must wait until your next cycle to begin. We recommend planning ahead, especially when timing your order with your cycle.
Yes, it is essential you use the first urine of the morning for each test. When prompted by the app to test, collect your urine as soon as you wake up after holding it for at least six hours. Using anything other than first morning urine can cause inaccurate results.
No, please don’t save your test strips after scanning them with the Proov Insight app. Scan your tests with the Proov Insight app at exactly 10 minutes, then discard them. Scanning tests after the 10-minute mark may yield inaccurate results.
There are many options for improving hormone balance — often we find the fix can be simple! While we always recommend consulting your doctor to determine the best next steps, you can find suggestions based only on your individual hormone insights in the Improovments section of the Proov Insight app.
Proov Complete is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. We encourage you to discuss your results with your doctor to understand the best next steps.
No, Proov Complete is not clinically validated for use during pregnancy.
Certain medical conditions such as pregnancy, menopause, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and medications that contain LH or HCG can affect LH test results. Some medications such as hormonal birth control (pills, patches, rings, etc.) and any medication containing natural or synthetic estrogen or progesterone can affect your E1G and PdG test results.
For questions about the Proov Insight app, please see the Proov Insight app FAQ. You can download the Proov Insight app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Proov Predict & Confirm
Tracking LH levels during the first half of your cycle can help you detect an LH surge, which indicates you’ve reached your two most fertile days (also called “peak fertility”). This is the time to “try!” During the first half of your cycle — the “follicular phase” — your follicles mature in preparation for ovulation. When the time is right, your brain sends a surge of LH (luteinizing hormone) to trigger the mature follicle to release an egg. Ovulation typically occurs about 12-48 hours after an LH surge.
Measuring PdG levels provides insight into ovulation quality, a piece of the fertility puzzle that you can’t get from BBT or blood tests alone. It all starts with progesterone, a hormone important for successful implantation and pregnancy that your body only produces after ovulation. After circulating through the bloodstream, progesterone is released from the body as the urinary metabolite (or “marker”), Pregnanediol Glucuronide (PdG), which is highest during the implantation window. With the Proov Insight app you can take your results one step further and receive numerical PdG results.
Sustained, elevated PdG levels during the second half of your cycle — the “luteal phase” — is an indication of successful ovulation, which in turn increases your chances of successful conception. In fact, studies show that elevated PdG during the luteal phase is correlated to a 92% chance of successful pregnancy, compared to only 19% in those with low levels.
Sustained, elevated PdG levels during the second half of your cycle — the “luteal phase” — is an indication of successful ovulation, which in turn increases your chances of successful conception. In fact, studies show that elevated PdG during the luteal phase is correlated to a 92% chance of successful pregnancy, compared to only 19% in those with low levels.
LH tests predict your two most fertile days and PdG tests provide quantitative proof that ovulation did in fact occur and was successful enough to allow for the best possible chance at conception. Using the two together sets you up for success by providing even more insight to help you reach your goals.
Contrary to popular belief, there is more than one way to ovulate. A “successful” ovulation occurs when an egg is released and PdG levels remain adequately elevated throughout the implantation window — long enough to allow for the best possible chance at conception. Checking for successful ovulation provides a key piece of the fertility puzzle that is not fully revealed by BBT and blood tests. You can get your unique ovulation analysis directly from the Proov Insight app.

Our CEO and founder, Dr. Amy Beckley, invented the first PdG test in 2016 after her own struggle with infertility. After 7 miscarriages and 2 rounds of IVF, Amy used her background in hormone science to discover an ovulatory disorder was causing her infertility, and learned her struggle could have been prevented by an inexpensive hormone supplement. You can read more about Amy’s story on the About Proov page.

Since Proov Predict & Confirm requires testing different hormones at different phases of your cycle, we strongly recommend downloading the free Proov Insight app for all-month digital tracking and testing reminders. While the app is a great way to manage your testing, each kit includes detailed instructions.
Great question! Elevated PdG during the period after peak fertility (the “implantation window”) suggests that successful ovulation occurred and your body is prepared for conception. However, every woman’s natural levels are different. To understand what “elevated” means, you must first establish a PdG reading early in the cycle when we expect levels to be low (right after your period or on cycle day 5 — whichever comes later). This is your baseline, and it’s essential for accurately interpreting your Proov PdG results later in your cycle. The free Proov Insight app makes it easy to know when to test your baseline and provides all-month digital tracking, immediate numerical results, details on what your results mean, and action plans to help you meet your goals.
The patented Proov PdG testing protocol recommends testing on days 7-10 past peak fertility because these are the days during your cycle when having elevated PdG levels is critical for successful conception. Elevated PdG is a marker of elevated progesterone, which supports implantation. Studies show that elevated levels of PdG during the 7-10 day window correlate to higher chances of successful pregnancy.
Proov Confirm PdG tests do require first morning urine after at least a 6 hour hold. Using anything other than first morning urine with Proov Confirm PdG tests will cause inaccurate results. Proov Predict LH tests, on the other hand, can be used with urine collected at any time of day. Our protocol suggests using LH tests twice per day as you approach your day of suspected ovulation, and many women find it convenient to test morning and evening during those days.
There are many options for raising PdG levels — often we find the fix can be simple! While we always recommend consulting your doctor to determine the best next steps, you can find suggestions based only on your individual PdG results in the Improovments section of the Proov Insight app.
LH tests are often called “ovulation tests,” but contrary to their name, they do not confirm whether or not you’ve ovulated; they only detect the luteinizing hormone surge that typically precedes ovulation. But the Proov Predict & Confirm kit comes with Proov Confirm PdG tests so you can confirm whether or not ovulation was successful enough for the best possible chance at conception.
No, please do not save your PdG or LH tests after you read the results. So simply dip your strip, scan the test in the Proov Insight app, and throw it away!
While it is possible to read both Proov LH and PdG tests by eye, per the instructions included with the kit, we strongly recommend using the Proov Insight app to take your hormone knowledge one step further by converting your results into numerical data. Plus the app provides details on what your results mean and action plans to help you meet your goals!
No, Proov only provides a snapshot of where you are in your cycle and does not provide a reflection of your fertility status. If you have questions about your results, you should consult your physician.

We strongly recommend using the free Proov Insight app to guide your testing. Once you upload some basic cycle information, it will give you specific daily instructions on when to test and just makes life easier!
Here’s an overview to help you know what to expect: You’ll use Proov Confirm once at the beginning of your cycle to establish a baseline (see more about baselines below).
Then, you’ll track peak fertility using the method of your choice — we recommend LH tests like Proov Predict. Once you detect peak fertility, the patented Proov PdG testing protocol recommends testing PdG levels on days 7, 8, 9, and 10 past peak fertility (DPP) to confirm successful ovulation.

Yes, Proov Confirm is most accurate with first morning urine. This is because your body breaks down progesterone into PdG while you sleep. Ideally, you’ll want to collect your urine first thing when you wake up after holding it for at least 6 hours. Using anything other than first morning urine can cause inaccurate results.
No, please do not save your PdG test after you read the result. Our PdG tests are considered inaccurate before 5 or after 10 minutes of processing. So simply dip your strip, scan the test in the Proov Insight app, and throw it away!

Proov PdG tests do not replace medical advice. If you are not getting positive results, you should consult your physician and tell them about this information so they can properly diagnose you.
No — Proov Confirm was designed to help monitor ovulation to aid in conception. While progesterone remains high during pregnancy, Proov Confirm has not been clinically validated for use during pregnancy. If you are currently pregnant and concerned about your progesterone levels, we recommend consulting your doctor.
Proov Predict LH Tests
Tracking LH (luteinizing hormone) levels during the first half of your cycle can help you detect an LH surge, which indicates you’ve reached your two most fertile days (also called “peak fertility”). This is the time to “try!” During the first half of your cycle — the “follicular phase” — your follicles mature in preparation for ovulation. When the time is right, your brain sends a surge of LH to trigger the mature follicle to release an egg. Ovulation typically occurs about 12-48 hours after an LH surge.
We recommend testing for peak fertility using Proov Predict LH tests about 18 days before your next suspected period. So if your cycles are 28 days long, you’ll start testing with Proov Predict on cycle day 10 (don’t worry — the free Proov Insight app will do the math for you!). The Proov Insight app will prompt you to test twice per day — once in the morning and once in the evening — because LH surges can be short, so we want to ensure you don’t miss it.
No — you may use Proov Predict at any time of day. The Proov Insight app will prompt you to test two times per day during the LH testing phase. Many women find it convenient to test levels mid-morning and again later in the evening, but the choice is ultimately yours.
LH tests are often called “ovulation tests,” but contrary to their name, they do not confirm whether or not you’ve ovulated; they only detect the luteinizing hormone surge that typically precedes ovulation. For more insight into your overall ovulation quality, we recommend checking out Proov Confirm. Proov Confirm PdG tests measure the urine marker of progesterone, the hormone released after ovulation to confirm whether or not ovulation was successful (which allows for the best possible chance at conception).
No, please do not save your LH test after you read the result. Simply dip your strip, scan the test in the Proov Insight app, and throw it away!

No, Proov Predict only provides a snapshot of where you are in your cycle and does not provide a reflection of your overall fertility status. If you have questions about your fertility, consult your physician.
Proov Reserve FSH Tests
Tracking follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels over time can give you insight into your ovarian reserve (your remaining egg supply) if you are trying to conceive. FSH levels increase temporarily at the beginning of each cycle to stimulate your ovaries to produce eggs. When your ovarian reserve is lower, more FSH is required to stimulate them. By providing insight into ovarian reserve, testing FSH can help you make a plan and get set up for success.
A woman is born with all her eggs and does not produce more over her lifetime. Your ovarian reserve refers to how many eggs your ovaries have remaining. Understanding your ovarian reserve can help you have more informed conversations with your doctor and get further assessment, if necessary.
FSH is your body’s signal that stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs, so levels typically increase a little early in your cycle. When your ovarian reserve is low, it takes a stronger FSH signal to stimulate your ovaries to produce eggs. This means that if you have a lower ovarian reserve, your body produces more FSH at the beginning of your cycle, and testing reveals higher levels of the hormone in your system.
The Proov Insight app, and instructions included with the tests, will prompt you to test FSH levels on cycle days 5, 7, and 9. Like all hormones, FSH levels have been shown to fluctuate so it’s important to get three separate results to best understand your levels over time. Additionally, FSH levels can also vary cycle-to-cycle which is why we recommend testing for multiple cycles in order to get the most complete picture.
A single FSH reading — whether it be high or low — is considered non-diagnostic, since studies show that FSH levels can fluctuate. This is why we recommend testing FSH levels 3 times during your cycle (days 5, 7, and 9) and retesting your levels for at least a few cycles to get the best idea of your levels over time.
If you get 2 or more high FSH test results, this may indicate low ovarian reserve could be impacting your chances at conception. In this case, we recommend following up with your doctor.
Yes, please test FSH levels using first morning urine for the most accurate results. First morning urine should be collected first thing when you wake up after at least a 6 hour hold.
No, please do not save your FSH tests after you read the results. So simply dip your strip, scan the test in the Proov Insight app, and throw it away!
Yes, you must use the Proov Insight app with Proov Reserve FSH tests for full hormone insights.
Proov FSH tests do not replace medical advice. If you’re getting test results in the normal range and are still having trouble trying to conceive, we recommend consulting your physician.
Yes, medications that contain FSH or alter FSH levels may affect Proov Reserve FSH test results.

Proov Check hCG Tests
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is the hormone produced by the body when you are pregnant. The presence of hCG in your urine suggests that you are most likely pregnant.
You can start testing with Proov Check up to 5 days before your next expected period (that’s 6 days before a missed period). The instructions included with your kit will help you determine when you may begin testing. If you have already missed your period, you may begin testing right away.
If you are testing with Proov Check before a missed period, you must use first morning urine. If you are testing with Proov Check after a missed period, you can test using urine from any time of day.
A positive Proov Check test indicates that hCG is present and you are most likely pregnant. We always recommend following up with your doctor to confirm pregnancy and discuss next steps.
A negative Proov Check test result could indicate that you are not pregnant or the amount of hCG was not high enough to be detected. If you are unsure of your result or still suspect you may be pregnant, you can test at least 48 hours later.
No, Proov Check tests are not compatible with the Proov Insight app and must be read by eye. After reading your test by eye, you can record your result in the Proov Insight app.
No, please do not save your Proov Check hCG tests after reading the result. Reading results after 15 minutes of processing could cause inaccurate results. Instead, we recommend snapping a picture of your test result in case you want to come back to it later.
Hers & His Fertility Starter Kit
It takes two to tango! Easy at-home testing with the Hers & His kit is a great way to confirm that everything is working as expected on both sides, so you can get set up for success and reach your goals faster.
While the Hers and His Fertility Starter Kit itself is not FDA cleared, the Yo Sperm test and Proov PdG tests have each received individual FDA clearance.
Please see the Predict & Confirm FAQ above.
For specific questions about your Yo Sperm test, we recommend reaching out to the Yo Sperm team directly at support@yospermtest.com.
Balancing Oil
Proov Balancing Oil is a perfectly balanced blend of natural progesterone (USP), MCT oil, Vitamin E, and lemon oil.
“Natural progesterone” — also called “bio-identical progesterone” — is the same as the progesterone that naturally occurs in your body, compared to progestins which are synthetic, chemically modified, and typically found in some forms of birth control. To learn more about progesterone, see our blog.
If you still have a period, we recommend using 5-10 drops of Balancing Oil 2-3 times per day during the last 12 days of your cycle. If you no longer have a cycle, we recommend using 3 drops 3 times per day for three consecutive weeks, taking one week off in between each 3 week cycle.
Balancing Oil contains 2,500 mg of natural progesterone per bottle, which comes out to about 1.5 mg of progesterone per drop.
Generally, using an oil base allows for a higher concentration of progesterone than a cream. To learn more about products that contain progesterone, please see our blog.
We ensure our manufacturers follow the current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) guidelines and thoroughly test Balancing Oil prior to selling it. We ensure it contains at least 2,500 mg of natural progesterone per bottle. We also test to ensure it does not contain microbes (such as yeast, mold, E. coli, salmonella or staphylococcus) or heavy metals (such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, or mercury).
Balancing Oil contains coconut; please do not use if you are allergic to coconut. Balancing Oil is gluten free. Additionally, we tested Balancing Oil for the presence of peanuts and there was no detectable limit reported (<1.0 ppm). We also tested Balancing Oil for the presence of soy and there was no detectable limit reported (<2.5 ppm).
Potentially, yes. Products or supplements that contain progesterone can affect your Proov test results.
If you are pregnant or nursing, always consult your healthcare provider before using any Proov product.
Luteal Love
Proov Luteal Love is an herbal blend that contains vitex (a.k.a. chaste tree berry), ashwagandha, and maca.
Luteal Love contains an herbal blend that supports your body’s natural progesterone production.
We recommend taking 1-2 capsules daily for the last 15 days of your cycle, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
No, Luteal Love does not contain progesterone but instead contains an herbal blend meant to support your body’s progesterone production.
Potentially, yes. Luteal Love is meant to support your body’s natural progesterone production. Since higher levels of progesterone lead to higher PdG markers in urine, your Proov test kit results may be affected.
No, please do not use Luteal Love if you are pregnant or nursing.
No, please do not use Luteal Love while taking fertility medication and be sure to consult your doctor about any supplement use.
High Absorbing Iron
Iron is an essential mineral, meaning it is required for life-sustaining functions and cannot be produced by the body — it must be consumed in the diet or with supplements. Iron helps with everything from making hormones to building muscles to carrying oxygen through your bloodstream. Normal iron levels support a healthy cycle and ovulation quality, making iron especially important when you’re trying to conceive. During pregnancy, the body must produce much more blood than usual to sustain a growing fetus, which can lead to iron deficiency — so maintaining healthy iron intake is key.
Iron deficiency, also called anemia, occurs when there is not enough iron directly in your bloodstream. It’s one of the most common nutrient deficiencies, affecting about 1 in 3 women of childbearing age.
Heme iron polypeptide (the iron in Proov High Absorbing Iron) is a naturally occurring iron source that is readily absorbed by the body. Many iron supplements on the market are made from ionic iron and are associated with common gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Heme iron polypeptide, in contrast, has few side effects and is well tolerated by most people.
Many iron supplements on the market are made from ionic iron and are associated with GI side effects. Proov High Absorbing Iron, in contrast, is made from a different source — heme iron polypeptide — which has few side effects and is well tolerated by most people. Heme iron polypeptide has a unique absorption pathway that is highly efficient and not affected by food. This means you can take it with or without a snack and be certain your body is absorbing the iron as intended. We recommend taking the supplement with food, however, as a precaution against the low risk of upset stomach.
Most iron supplements on the market are made from ionic iron and are associated with common GI side effects. Proov High Absorbing Iron, in contrast, is made from heme iron polypeptide, which has few side effects and is well tolerated by most people.
Yes, the general recommendation is to take 1-3 tablets per day or as directed by your doctor. Please consult your doctor before taking Proov High Absorbing Iron if you are breastfeeding.
