About the Test

The Proov Confirm PdG test measures PdG (progesterone metabolite) levels in the urine over the course of 4 key days — also called the implantation window — to confirm successful ovulation.

Information from this test can help you determine if lack of ovulation or a problem with ovulation might be preventing you from conceiving.

This test can indicate if ovulation occurred, but does not predict the most fertile days of your cycle.

If you receive sustained positive or high PdG test results during the testing window, this indicates a successful ovulation.

If you do not receive positive PdG results during the testing window, we are unable to confirm ovulation.

The following signs and symptoms may indicate a problem with ovulation:

Inability to conceive / infertility
Recurrent early pregnancy loss
Spotting before a period
Luteal phase shorter than 11 days
Long or irregular cycles

Talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

The Proov Confirm PdG test strips (5 per kit) must be utilized using your first morning urine. First morning urine is defined as the first urine sample of the day collected right after you wake up. Please refer to the package insert as to the proper usage and when to begin testing in your cycle.

The Proov Confirm PdG test provides qualitative results. A positive result indicates the presence of PdG in the urine and provides evidence that ovulation has occurred. A negative result indicates there is not an adequate amount of PdG in the urine and ovulation cannot be confirmed.

Positive results during testing window (sustained elevated PdG levels during the testing window) indicate a successful ovulation this cycle. Negative results during the testing window indicate PdG levels are not elevated enough to indicate a successful ovulation this cycle. Since problems with ovulation make it difficult to successfully conceive, understanding if you have successfully ovulated is a key piece of the pregnancy puzzle that may increase your chances of conception.

If you receive sustained positive or high PdG test results during the testing window, this indicates a successful ovulation. If you are ovulating successfully and still not conceiving, we recommend consulting your doctor for further testing and evaluation.

If you do not receive positive PdG results during the testing window, we are unable to confirm ovulation. Since problems with ovulation can make conception difficult, we recommend bringing these results to your doctor for further evaluation or treatment.

Some medications such as hormonal birth control (pills, patches, rings, etc.) and any medication containing natural or synthetic progesterone can affect your results. Please refer to the package insert as to the proper usage and when to begin testing in your cycle.

Proov Confirm PdG test results can be read by the naked eye 5-10 minutes after taking the test, similar to an at-home pregnancy test. Note that both tests are read visually, and a single line in the PdG test is a positive while two lines is a positive for most pregnancy tests. If you want to take your results one step further, you can download the Proov Insight app for reminders when to test, help interpreting your results, and personalized action plans.

FAQs

What is PdG and why should I care about it?

Ovulation starts with progesterone, a hormone important for successful implantation and pregnancy that your body normally 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. Measuring PdG levels provides insight into successful ovulation, a piece of the fertility puzzle that you can’t get from BBT (basal body temperature) or blood tests alone.

Sustained, elevated PdG levels during the second half of your cycle, the “implantation window,” is an indication of successful ovulation, which in turn increases your chances of successful conception. Low PdG levels during the second half of your cycle may indicate a lack of ovulation or problem with ovulation that could make it more difficult to conceive.

Why is successful ovulation important when trying to conceive?

Successful ovulation refers to an ovulatory event in which ovulation occurs (meaning an egg was released) and PdG levels remain elevated for long enough during the implantation window to allow for a higher chance at successful implantation and pregnancy. Low PdG levels following ovulation can indicate a lack of ovulation or a problem with ovulation, which can make it more difficult to conceive.

Can’t I just confirm ovulation with a progesterone blood test?

Yes, you can confirm ovulation via progesterone blood tests over several days. However, PdG testing reveals more of the ovulation picture than a blood test alone. A progesterone blood test shows the level at one point in time – sufficient information to help tell whether or not ovulation occurred. But these tests fall short of confirming successful ovulation, since you must monitor levels across the key implantation window to understand if they were elevated high enough for long enough to indicate a successful ovulation.

Proov Confirm PdG is the first at-home test to confirm ovulation. Information from this test can also help you determine if lack of ovulation or a problem with ovulation might be preventing you from conceiving.
