You can check if you are ovulating using the Proov Ovulation Predict and Confirm Kit. It is a comprehensive at-home testing system designed to provide a more complete picture of the menstrual cycle than standard ovulation strips. While traditional tests measure LH to identify the window before an egg is released, Proov adds a critical second step: confirming that ovulation actually occurred and was successful. It does this by measuring PdG, a urine-based metabolite of progesterone, which is the dominant hormone responsible for preparing the uterine lining for a fertilized egg. By testing PdG levels over several days following the LH surge, the kit verifies that the body produced sufficient hormone levels to sustain a potential pregnancy. This non-invasive tool helps identify barriers like luteal phase deficiency, providing actionable data to ensure the physiological environment is fully optimized for a healthy pregnancy.
