Understanding your hormones—especially progesterone—is key to improving implantation and increasing your chances of pregnancy.

Joining us today on this episode is Amy Beckley who will talk about Progesterone & Fertility: What You NEED to Know When TTC. 

Amy Beckley has a PhD in hormone signaling and founded Proov after her personal battle with infertility and recurrent miscarriage. Amy was given the diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" and told IVF was her best chance at conception. She had her son after 2 rounds of IVF. She then used her science degree and discovered her infertility was due to a simple progesterone deficiency. After having her daughter with just a low cost progesterone supplement, Amy decided to invent a way to test for progesterone at home. Proov was born and now Proov is the most comprehensive at-home system to monitor your whole cycle and discover of there are red flags that could be preventing conception.
