The effectiveness of the PROFERTIL® female formulation has been confirmed in several clinical studies. A supportive effect on cycle regularity, ovulation as well as the thickness of the uterine lining (endometrium) could be shown. In addition, an improvement in AMH levels was demonstrated. PROFERTIL® female can therefore increase the probability of successful conception.

You can monitor your cycle yourself relatively easily with the help of a cycle calendar and determine whether it is regular. PROFERTIL® female can help women with an irregular cycle to have a more regular cycle. This supportive effect has also been proven in a clinical study.
In addition, an appointment with your gynaecologist allows you to assess the thickness of the endometrium (= thickness of the lining of the uterus) by ultrasound.

PROFERTIL® female supports female fertility, but is not a pregnancy vitamin. It should therefore only be taken until pregnancy has been confirmed. During pregnancy, a woman’s nutritional needs change and for this reason other preparations should be used.
However, this also means that there is nothing to be said against using up the remaining pack as soon as the pregnancy is known (or suspected). Since PROFERTIL® female is a “fertility pill”, you should subsequently switch to a pregnancy vitamin. This means changing to a product that optimally covers the specific nutrient requirements during pregnancy. Please consult your trusted doctor about this.
-

In principle, PROFERTIL® female can and should be taken until the pregnancy is confirmed.
