About Amy:

Amy Beckley, PhD, is the founder of Proov and the inventor of the first and only FDA-cleared test to confirm ovulation at home.

Amy Beckley, Founder, and CEO of Proov, went through the exact same challenges and used her experience to craft an accessible solution. For Amy and many others, the key to becoming pregnant was deceptively simple: learning about hormones, their individual functions, and how to keep them balanced. This knowledge completely changed Amy's approach to fertility - ultimately resulting in the birth of her second child
