Doing everything right.

Regular periods don't always mean ovulation. The app, the sticks, the timing - and still wondering whether your body did its part this month.

THE TEST

A clear answer, at home.

After you ovulate, your body makes progesterone and breaks it down into PdG, which shows up in your urine. When PdG runs high, it's a sign ovulation really happened, not just that it was on its way.

The same biomarkers used in clinical settings.

Pregnanediol Glucuronide (PdG)

Pregnanediol Glucuronide (PdG)

Confirms ovulation actually happened, not just that it was coming.

The Diagnox PdG Test is an at-home ovulation confirmation test. It detects pregnanediol glucuronide (PdG), the urine form of progesterone, at 5 µg/mL or higher, as an aid to confirm ovulation.

  • When to start: your cycle length minus 12 (day 16 of a 28-day cycle), or 5 days after your OPK peak
  • How often: one test each morning until you get a positive, up to 6
  • Sample: first-morning urine, dipped for at least 15 seconds
  • Results: read at 5–10 minutes, not after 10
  • Reads opposite: one line = positive, two lines = negative
  • Pack: 6 individually sealed strips, enough for one cycle

This test reads opposite.

When PdG is high, the test line disappears. One line means positive. Two lines mean negative, no matter how faint the second line is. Studies show PdG closely tracks blood progesterone.¹

OVULATION CONFIRMATION

Practical guidance

Easy to use.
Easy to understand.

Everything you need to take the test, understand the result, and know what to do next.

STEP 01

Dip

Hold the strip upright and dip the white tip into your first-morning urine for at least 15 seconds, until the dye rises into the window. Don't go past the MAX line.

STEP 02

Wait

Lay the strip flat on a clean, dry surface and leave it alone. Five minutes is the earliest it can be read.

STEP 03

Compare

Read between 5 and 10 minutes, and count the lines. One line is positive. Two lines is negative.

Positive

Positive

One line — C only

What it means

One line means high PdG. This test reads opposite to most: a single control line is the positive result. Progesterone rose around five days ago, which means ovulation likely happened about then.

What it doesn't mean

It doesn't tell you when to try to conceive — it confirms ovulation after the event, not as it happens. It isn't a pregnancy test and it isn't contraception.

What to do next

Note the date. If you're tracking across a cycle, test at the same time of day so the results compare.
Negative

Negative

Two lines — C and T

What it means

Two lines mean low PdG. A visible test line counts as negative however faint it looks against the control line.

What it doesn't mean

A low reading on one day doesn't mean you didn't ovulate at all. PdG rises and falls through the second half of a cycle.

What to do next

Keep testing on the days your instructions set out. If your cycles are irregular or prolonged, talk to a provider about whether this test suits you.
Invalid

Invalid

No C line — or a T line on its own

What it means

Without a control line there's no result. The control has to be visible for the strip to have worked.

What it doesn't mean

It isn't high PdG and it isn't low PdG. It's a strip that didn't run.

What to do next

Use a new strip. If it fails again, get in touch and have the lot number to hand.

This test detects PdG at 5 µg/mL or higher as an aid to confirm ovulation. It isn't a pregnancy test or birth control, and it can't tell you when you're fertile. Talk to your provider if your cycles are irregular or you have questions.

Everything you need.

A look inside the kit, and how it works.

Questions

The ones we hear most often.

Whether you ovulated this cycle. After ovulation, your body makes progesterone, then breaks it down into PdG (pregnanediol glucuronide), which shows up in urine. When PdG reaches 5 µg/mL, this test reads positive — a sign that ovulation happened.

Not always. Research suggests more than a third of cycles that look normal may not include ovulation. A regular period is a good sign, but it isn't proof. Confirming ovulation gives you a more complete picture of your cycle.

An OPK tells you ovulation may be coming. This test tells you whether it actually happened. That also means it can't show you your fertile window — for that, use an OPK. You can use both, but you don't need to. This test works on its own, and so does basal body temperature tracking if you already do it.

No. Hormonal birth control (pills, patches, rings, hormonal IUDs), progesterone medication (pills, creams, suppositories) and hormone replacement therapy can all affect PdG levels. Progesterone medication in particular can cause a false positive.

No. This test confirms ovulation after the fact. It isn't a method of contraception and shouldn't be used to decide when sex is 'safe'.

No. It doesn't detect pregnancy, and it isn't meant for tracking PdG during pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant, take a pregnancy test and talk to your provider.

Take your cycle length and subtract 12. That's your start day, counting day 1 as the first day of your period. For a 28-day cycle, start on day 16. If you use an OPK, start 5 days after your OPK peak instead. If your cycles are irregular, check with your doctor first.

The box has six tests, enough for one full cycle. Test once each morning, at about the same time, until you get a positive.

Yes. First-morning urine has the highest concentration of PdG, so it gives the most accurate reading. Urine from later in the day can give a misleading result.

It is — this test reads opposite to most. One line (Control only) means positive: your PdG is high. Two lines mean negative, even if the Test line is very faint. If you see only a faint greyish Test line with no pink in it, count that as positive. No Control line means the test didn't work; use a new one.

No. PdG takes about five days to build up after ovulation, so a positive means ovulation most likely happened around five days earlier. This test confirms ovulation after it happens, not when it happens.

One cycle isn't a verdict. Some cycles don't include ovulation, and some people don't clear progesterone as PdG at levels high enough to read positive. If you keep getting negatives across several cycles, bring your results to your doctor.

That's fine. Test again the next morning and carry on until you get a positive. One missed day won't undo the picture.

Yes. Alcohol and medications containing natural or synthetic progesterone can affect results. Check the instructions for anything you're taking before you test.

Yes. Hormone levels shift from cycle to cycle with stress, lifestyle and individual factors. Testing across a few cycles gives you a fuller picture than any single one.
