Proov Confirm for ovulation confirmation

Patient organisation comments

A representative from Fertility UK commented that Proov Confirm would benefit people wanting to confirm that ovulation had occurred in a cycle, which is valuable information when there have been delays in conception. They said that standard care is a single progesterone reading, which does not give the full width of the fertile period. They also said that Proov Confirm is helpful if a person has an unpredictable lifestyle (such as getting up at different times each day) and cannot sufficiently rely on their waking temperature readings to detect ovulation.

The representative raised concerns about people accessing information on their hormonal status without having access to a healthcare professional to put the result into context. They noted that home testing can give false assurance and that professional help may be more appropriate and timelier.
