Update: A few days after our interview, Isabella shared exciting news; she is pregnant! After tracking three healthy cycles and restoring her thyroid levels, she conceived naturally at almost 41 after tracking with Mira.
When Isabella got married at 40, she approached trying to conceive with optimism and realism. She knew her age might make the process longer, but she was eager to understand what her body needed.
At first, she relied on basic LH strips and felt confident when they showed positive results. But after returning from her honeymoon, everything shifted; her cycles became unpredictable and then disappeared altogether.
“I was using the generic LH strips and thought we’d be pregnant in no time. But after my honeymoon, my cycle just stalled,” she said. “That’s when I realized I needed to understand what was really happening.”
Unsure what to do next, Isabella started searching for something that could give her clearer answers, and that’s when she found Mira.
When the Data Told a Different Story
Isabella discovered Mira through a content creator she followed online. Curious and determined to get answers, she ordered a monitor and wands and began tracking her hormones daily.
Almost immediately, the data revealed something surprising. Even though her period was missing, her estrogen and FSH levels looked normal. That detail didn’t make sense. She decided to consult a doctor and, with the help of her Mira charts, he figured out that something wasn’t quite right. To investigate further, he decided to order full bloodwork.
The results showed she had hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid that was disrupting her cycle and ovulation. For Isabella, the diagnosis was both unexpected and a relief.
“My doctor said my thyroid had to be in an optimal range to conceive and stay pregnant. Mira helped me see that something wasn’t adding up,” she explained.
Finally, she had an answer and a plan.
Treatment, Clarity, and Hope Returning
Once Isabella started thyroid medication, she began to notice changes almost immediately. Within three weeks, her Mira chart lit up with a strong LH surge, the first clear sign that her body was ovulating again.
“We didn’t get pregnant that cycle, but I could see everything working again,” she said. “My hormones were finally doing what they should.”
After months of confusion, those numbers gave her peace of mind. Her body wasn’t broken; it just needed support. Seeing her charts return to balance helped replace fear with patience.
She began to feel more optimistic. “It might take time,” she said, “but at least I know I’m moving in the right direction.”
Learning from the Numbers
As someone who values clarity, Isabella found confidence in data. She upgraded to the Mira Ultra4 wands, which measure four hormones—FSH, estrogen, LH, and progesterone—at once. The faster results and combined data gave her a full picture of how her hormones were working in sync.
She also began using both TTC and menopause modes in the Mira app, since she’s in what’s considered the “late reproductive stage.” Instead of discouraging her, that knowledge felt grounding.
“It takes the pressure off,” Isabella explained. “I know where I stand, and I can work with my body instead of worrying about what might be wrong.”
Each test became more than a reading; it was reassurance. Seeing real-time hormone patterns helped her stay connected to her body in a way she hadn’t before.
A New Perspective on Health
With Mira, Isabella discovered more than just when she ovulated; she began to understand her body’s rhythm. Her daily testing helped her see how her hormones affected her mood, energy, and sleep. The data gave her something she’d never had before: confidence in her own health story.
“It’s empowering to have the data,” she declared. “You can walk into your doctor’s office with numbers instead of just symptoms.”
She now feels better equipped to advocate for herself in healthcare settings and plans to continue using Mira, even beyond TTC. If conception takes longer, she’s considering testing a broader range of hormones with Mira’s Panorama to gain more insight, but for now, she’s focused on balance and consistency.
Advice for Women 40 and Beyond
Isabella’s message to other women is simple: don’t wait to start learning about your hormones. She believes cycle and hormone tracking should be a lifelong habit, not just a fertility tool.
“It’s not just for trying to conceive, it’s for understanding your health.”
She recommends testing daily, even outside the fertility window, to see how your hormones shift throughout each phase. For her, tracking has brought awareness and self-acceptance, not anxiety.
By knowing her data, she now recognizes patterns in her body that used to feel random. She can tell when ovulation is coming, understand why her mood changes, and feel at peace with what’s happening rather than fighting against it.
No More Guessing, Just Understanding
For Isabella, what began as a fertility journey turned into something deeper: a reconnection with her body. Mira helped her uncover a thyroid issue, restore her cycle, and regain confidence in her health.
“Understanding my hormones gave me peace of mind,” she said. “No more guessing, just knowing where I stand.”
Her story is a reminder that clarity brings comfort, and knowledge brings hope. Whether you’re trying to conceive or simply trying to understand your cycle, real insight can change everything.
