For Shalize and her husband, the journey to parenthood has been anything but linear. For seven years, they’ve walked a path filled with love, hope, uncertainty, and resilience.
And while infertility deeply challenged their expectations of what building a family would look like, it also revealed something unexpected: strength within themselves and each other.
Not Knowing Was the Hardest Part
“I never knew what was happening in my body,” Shalize shares. Diagnosed with PCOS at 19, she entered marriage already aware that starting a family might be difficult. But the years that followed were filled with more questions than answers. Her cycles were irregular, and the absence of clear signs of ovulation left her feeling disconnected and uncertain.
That uncertainty took a toll — not only physically, but emotionally and relationally. Infertility became more than a diagnosis. It became a test of communication, faith, and emotional intimacy.
When Tracking Meant Trusting Her Body Again
Everything began to shift when Shalize started tracking her hormones with Mira.
“For the first time, I could actually see what my body was doing,” she says. “It brought a sense of peace and trust in my body that I had never felt before.”
With Mira’s real-time tracking of LH, Estrogen, and Progesterone, Shalize was able to witness the subtle hormonal changes her body was going through. This visibility wasn’t just empowering — it was healing. The data gave her and her husband a renewed sense of hope and a way to support each other with intention and clarity.
Strengthening a Marriage Through the Unknown
Infertility didn’t just affect their plans — it transformed their marriage.
It taught them to become better communicators. To sit with pain without trying to solve it right away. To ask each other hard questions like: “How are you really feeling this week?” or “What do you need right now?”
Through candid conversations and continued hope, they created space for each other’s grief while still dreaming out loud about a future with children.
They also made room for joy in the present. “Life can still be fun even if we don’t have everything we want at the moment,” Shalize reflects.
Tools That Made the Difference
Among the most helpful resources on their journey:
-
Mira’s Hormone Tracking. Brought clarity and confidence in understanding ovulation patterns despite irregular cycles.
-
Open Conversations. Honest communication with each other, and with trusted family and friends, built a foundation of support.
-
Faith + Letting Go. Choosing to release control and trust in something greater allowed them to find peace in the waiting.
Already Enough
Through it all, one truth became clear: their worth was never tied to a positive pregnancy test.
“We are already enough,” Shalize says. “Not because of what we achieve, or whether we become parents. But because of who we are, together.”
Infertility hasn’t broken them — it’s deepened their connection, their understanding of each other, and their belief in the life they’re building.
To Anyone Else Walking This Road…
Shalize offers this reminder: “You’re not alone. You’re not failing. Infertility may challenge your relationship, but it can also strengthen it. You can hold grief and love at the same time.”
Today, they’re still on the journey. Still exploring options like IVF and adoption. But above all, they’re finding peace in the present and continuing to trust in what’s possible — with each other, and with the help of the insights Mira has given them along the way.
