Proov Announces Fourth Patent to Find Fertile Window— Proov Diagnostics, a diagnostics firm that offers medical-grade at-home tests and a support platform is announcing today that it received a patent issue notice for its fourth utility patent. This patent covers progesterone (or PdG) testing via urine test, a method for identifying the fertile window through testing PdG as well as other hormones as well as a multi-hormone test which includes testing for PdG and one or more other hormones associated with menstrual cycles.
Progesterone is a vital hormone that is produced by the ovary upon the ovulation. One of the main functions of progesterone is the preparation of the uterine lining for implantation. In the absence of enough progesterone after the ovulation, it may be difficult to get implantation take place.
Prior to the Proov’s offering, the sole FDA-cleared urine PdG test available – no diagnostic test could confirm successful conception. Ovulation success is defined as continuous, elevated PdG levels throughout the implantation timeframe, and gives the best chances of getting pregnant. Proov’s fourth patent adds to Proov’s leading patent portfolio that covers the testing of PdG in urine in women. This patent protects the system that allows for home testing and allows it to determine both PdG and luteinizing hormone (LH) as well as providing users with security when displaying results for PdG as well as LH tests via an external device that has an interface for users with graphical graphics. The patent covers a system that measures follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and estrogen, LH, and progesterone markers in urine to pinpoint the fertile window in women. Proov continues to be the leader in the development of at-home hormone testing technologies to empower women. It also has many additional related technologies that are covered in pending patent applications.
