When used with the Proov Insight app, Proov's easy, at-home pee tests provide a science-backed fertility coach right in your hand. First, a woman can measure all of the menstrual hormones daily with Proov tests, then snap a photo of each test within the Insight app. Then, a woman can follow the in-app prompts throughout her cycle to understand ovulation status, get daily insights and an Ovulation Insights score. Finally, the app generates a personalized action plan to maximize her wellness or develop a fertility strategy. Proov was founded by Amy Beckley, Ph.D, the "infertile scientist," after three years of infertility and seven miscarriages.

With help from her doctor and a simple supplement, Amy was able to get pregnant with her daughter.
