Introduction

After experiencing a miscarriage at 34 years old, I thought I was defective or broken. It had been two years since that heartbreaking event, and despite my husband and I always wanting a baby, I began to lose hope that it would ever happen for us. Then, in just one month of using Mira, I got pregnant. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Life Before Mira

My husband and I have always dreamed of starting a family, but my irregular periods made it challenging. The miscarriage I suffered at 34 only added to my anxiety and self-doubt. For two years following the loss, I faced monthly heartbreak as I struggled to conceive again. Each negative test left me feeling more and more defeated, wondering if there was something inherently wrong with me. My doctor suspected PCOS, and despite using various fertility trackers and consulting with OB/GYNs, nothing seemed to work.

Other Products I Tried

Before Mira, I tried another brand of fertility sticks for about a year, desperately attempting to pinpoint my ovulation. However, these tools didn't provide the clarity I needed, and I started to doubt if I was even ovulating at all. The process was disheartening and exhausting, leading me to feel more defeated with each passing month.

How I Found Mira

I discovered Mira through an ad on Instagram. Curious and skeptical, I researched the product and read reviews, trying to understand what made it different. After discussing it with my supportive husband, I decided to give it a try. I waited until my next period in May 2024 and then ordered Mira, ready to start testing as soon as my period ended.

My MIRAcle Experience

When Mira arrived, I diligently followed the testing guidelines on the app. Although I didn't fully understand the hormone levels at first, I trusted the process. Initially, my progesterone levels were low, and my LH levels fluctuated, leading me to fear that something was still wrong. Despite these concerns, I continued testing.

One day, my LH spiked again, and though I was skeptical, I decided to trust the process. I was nearing the end of my fertility wands and felt a wave of hopelessness. My doctor suggested waiting until my next period for further tests and mentioned consulting a specialist if I didn't conceive within six months. Feeling defeated, I went home and cried, resigning myself to the idea that getting pregnant might not be in the cards for me.

About a week and a half later, I had a dream that I was pregnant. On a whim, I took a pregnancy test, and to my astonishment, it was positive. I couldn't believe my eyes and took another test to confirm. After two long years of trying to conceive, one month with Mira brought me the miracle I had been longing for. I'm now overjoyed and incredibly grateful for the technology that made this possible.

Advice for Others

To anyone struggling with infertility, please know you are not alone. I know the feeling of being defeated and broken, especially at 36 with irregular periods. Take the leap and invest in a product that can truly help you understand your body. While I was initially skeptical about the cost, I realized I had spent much more on ineffective fertility sticks over the years. Mira provided me with invaluable insights into my hormone levels and reminded me to test at the right times. After two years of heartbreak, Mira helped me conceive in just one month. Trust the process, breathe, and believe that miracles can happen.
