Ahh, predicting your cycle. It’s the age-old method of getting pregnant. Just track your cycle and BAM! You’ll get pregnant. It’s so easy, right?

If you’re part of our community, you know it’s not a one-size fits all method, and you certainly know it’s not easy. Tracking ovulation is difficult, especially since cycles vary from month to month for many women, and precisely pinpointing your fertile window can prove challenging.

However, better understanding ovulation, the hormones that trigger it, how your temperature fluctuates throughout your cycle, and when your body is undergoing the process of ovulating is helpful not only in timing intercourse or other fertility methods, but also in better understanding your menstrual cycle and overall health.

If you’ve been trying to conceive (TTC) for any length of time, chances are you’ve picked up a home ovulation predictor kit at some point to help you better understand your cycles and to predict your most optimal time for making a baby. These over-the-counter kits can be confusing, comparing strips and colors and trying to make sense of often unclear test results.

Many of our community partners have revitalized home ovulation prediction with the use of specialized technology, creating a more accurate picture of your fertility health and your best time for TTC, backed by data!

With a focus on tracking specific hormones, Mira is better able to anticipate your ovulation through at-home analysis of key hormones, such as luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone. OvuSense’s temperature tracking technology can alert you up to 24-hours before you ovulate based on your in-cycle data.
