Proov PdG Test Strips for Women - 20 Progesterone Test Strips - Confirm Successful Ovulation at Home - 4 Cycle Pack - Fertility Tracker - Compatible with Fertility, Pregnancy & Ovulation Tests

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.

After my second miscarriage in November 2020, I became obsessed with tracking my menstrual cycles trying to conceive again (won’t lie I still am).For the past two years since having my 3rd daughter in 2017 my cycles slowly changed from every 29-30 days to now every 24-26 days. After paying attention to my ovulation strips, I noticed my luteal phase was 10-11 days. As I was getting a positive OPK CD 14 (meaning around CD 15 or 16 I was ovulating). Then starting my period not too long after. Always starting with brown spotting the first day.When I conceived in October 2020, I was taking a variety of supplements from B6-B12 to evening primrose oil, fish oil, prenatal, vitamin E, potassium, etc. I stopped all supplements except a prenatal once I found out I conceived that cycle. Then at about 7 weeks the brown spotting began, and it felt just like every month where it starts of with brown that turns into red.During my follow-up miscarriage appointment I made it a point to tell the doctor that I believed after researching on Dr. Google that I had a luteal phase defect. She told me that it was just bad luck to have another miscarriage & that it’s common as you grow older; as many pregnancies result in miscarriage.I just turned 29 in March 2021. I argued that my first two daughters were conceived at 16 & 18. My body was much different now as a woman. At 25 I had an early miscarriage then 3 months later conceived my 3rd daughter. Now a few years later I’ve miscarried again, only this time my periods have become more frequent leading to shorter cycles.The doctor told me at that follow up appointment that she would wait until I got a positive test to prescribe progesterone. & it wasn’t because she thought something was really wrong, it was only to appease me since I wouldn’t let up on it.3 months into trying after my miscarriage and cycles continuing to range from 24-26 days, I decided to get a second opinion. This time I found PROOV, I was going to prove to my next doctor that something WAS wrong. PROOV showed me that I WAS ovulating but like the creator of PROOV, my progesterone would rise & give a positive PROOV test for 2 days and then negative the following 3 days for 10DPO, then the brown spotting would begin and then the finally the next day my period.I brought this up to my new doctor & he ran a multitude of tests. HSG (tube test), ultrasound, & blood/blood clot tests, and finally the day 21 progesterone test. On day 21 my progesterone was a 12.3. This made sense because I know I am ovulating and my PROOV test was positive the previous cycle on 7DPO.When every test came back normal my doctor said it was good that they found nothing wrong. We could try clomid. Scared to try clomid, and after reading up a LOT on progesterone and the PROOV creators personal story, I asked to try progesterone suppositories for a few months (2-3) before moving to clomid.Without hesitation the doctor said yeah, you are on the shorter side of a luteal phase. Can’t hurt. You can try it, that’s fine. Then we can move to clomid if it doesn’t work.I’m now on month 5 of trying to conceive. I know that’s not as long as a lot of women... But after two early miscarriages. I just want to do everything I can, even though I know I don’t have control. I’m hoping my story is as happy as the PROOV creator. Where I can conceive with progesterone suppositories & carry one last baby to term with no brown spotting, no miscarriage, and just a healthy baby.This will be my first month trying with progesterone. I will be sure to update if it works! If it does and the luteal phase defect/progesterone not staying elevated long enough was my problem I will be sure to let everyone know that this product was PROOV that I really did have a progesterone issue & that doctors need to start listening to women rather than blowing them off.
