After three challenging months of trying to conceive with only LH strips and facing continuous disappointment, I almost gave up on my dream of becoming a mother. But then I discovered Mira, and everything changed. Understanding my body and its cycles in ways I never could before, I finally achieved my goal. Here’s my story.

Running Out of Time

Though I am a 36-year-old single woman, I had always dreamed of becoming a mother but I never found the right partner. As I grew older, I feared that time was running out for me. After much thought and discussion, my gay best friend and I decided to try to conceive through at-home insemination. However, the journey was far from easy.

We started by using LH strips to track my fertile window. Despite our efforts, it didn’t work the first three months. I was frustrated and disheartened, worried that my age would prevent me from achieving my dream of motherhood.

Inaccurate Approaches

Initially, I relied solely on LH strips, but they didn’t provide the comprehensive insight I needed into my cycle. I felt lost and uncertain about the best days to try insemination. It was clear that I needed a more reliable method to understand my fertility better.

Hormone All-rounder

I came across Mira while searching for a more effective way to track my cycle. The idea of seeing and tracking not just LH but also other hormone levels like E3G and PdG intrigued me. I was hopeful that Mira could provide the detailed insights I needed to optimize our chances of conception.

Three Months and I am Pregnant!

Using Mira was a revelation. It helped me understand my cycle in ways the LH strips never could. Mira provided a clear picture of my fertile window, allowing us to pinpoint the best days for insemination accurately. The ability to track multiple hormones gave me a deeper understanding of my body and its rhythms.

Within three months of using Mira, I was able to conceive. It was an emotional and joyous moment, knowing that our efforts had finally paid off. Mira’s detailed tracking and insights were instrumental in making my dream of motherhood a reality.

Light at The End of The Tunnel

To anyone struggling with infertility, I want to say: keep going! Don’t give up! It’s the hardest thing to go through, but it’s worth it in the end. Understanding your body and your cycle is crucial, and tools like Mira can make a significant difference. The universe really does work the way it’s supposed to, so stay hopeful and persistent.

Thank you for reading my story. I hope it offers encouragement and inspiration to others on their fertility journey.
