8 Unexpected Insights Revealed: What You May Learn About Your Cycle When You Test With Mira


Without regular hormone testing, so many questions about our fertility are left unanswered.
Questions like…
- Am I ovulating?
- Are my hormones in balance?
- Are my hormones preventing me from conceiving?
- How far away could I be from perimenopause?
- And so on!
But thanks to our work here at Mira (aka the world’s mini hormone lab), people across the world are finally getting some answers.
To learn more about what exactly they’re finding out, we surveyed our community of Mira users – asking them questions about their cycle, hormones, and general reproductive health.
Here’s what we discovered… and what you may discover too if you start testing your hormones with Mira!
Identifying unique cycle patterns
Among Mira users who participated in the survey, 3 in 4 reported that Mira helped them identify their unique cycle pattern*.
Among these individuals, the following insights were revealed:
- 39% discovered that their ovulation timing is different from cycle to cycle
- 27% discovered they ovulate late
- 18% discovered they ovulate early and
- 12% discovered that they do not ovulate at all
Equipped with this information about their unique cycle characteristics, individuals can make more informed decisions about their reproductive health.
For example, if you are planning a pregnancy and know that you tend to ovulate early, you can more accurately plan sex with your partner on the day(s) where ovulation is most likely to occur. Alternatively, if your timing of ovulation tends to vary or if you learn that you do not ovulate regularly (or at all), you may want to take this information to your doctor or fertility coach. They can then provide further support tailored to your individual needs.

Uncovering underlying hormone issues
Additionally, among those who participated in the survey*, 1 in 4 reported that Mira helped them uncover underlying hormone issues that were hindering them from conceiving.
Among these individuals, the following insights were revealed:
- 72% discovered that their hormone levels were either too high or too low
- 28% discovered they experienced anovulation
- 24% uncovered underlying conditions due to hormone imbalance, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- 16% learned that they were in perimenopause
Again, being equipped with this information allows individuals to have a better understanding of their hormones, so that they can make more informed decisions and seek additional help from their doctor.

How Mira Helps
With hormone testing solutions like the Mira Hormone Monitor and the Panorama Fertility Lab Test, you too can test your hormones and uncover insights about your reproductive health.
Regular testing with the Mira Hormone Monitor
Mira’s flagship product, the Mira Hormone Monitor, is the only at-home fertility monitor on the market that uses quantitative technology to track four key fertility hormones and their metabolites in urine. This includes:
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)
- Estrone-3-glucuronide (E3G)
- Pregnanediol glucuronide (PdG) and
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Through regular hormone monitoring, individuals can gain insights into various aspects of their reproductive health – such as their ovulation patterns, fertile windows, and hormonal fluctuations. This information is then useful for planning pregnancies, assessing underlying hormone imbalances, understanding perimenopause, and more.
With each and every test, Mira’s predictions and insights only improve. This is all thanks to Mira’s advanced AI technology, which is fuelled by over 13 million data points (and counting!).

One-time Panorama Lab Test
Certain reproductive hormones can only be tested with a blood test – and this is where Mira’s At-Home Panorama Lab Test comes in.
Unlike the Mira Monitor which is designed for regular testing and monitoring, the Panorama Lab Test is a one-time screening that provides individuals with a snapshot of their full reproductive health. It does this by testing the following hormones:
- Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH)
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Free thyroxine (fT4)
- Prolactin
- Free testosterone
After submitting a finger-prick sample of blood to a CLIA-FDA accredited laboratory, individuals will receive their results within approximately 2-3 days.
Results consist of five different reports that provide insights into an individual’s menstrual cycle, fertility, ovarian reserve, thyroid functioning, and general hormone health.
The Panorama Lab Test is the perfect way to get a bird’s-eye view of your overall fertility health and ovarian reserve. However, it’s important to remember that your results will only represent one moment in time. For a more dynamic view of your hormone health from cycle to cycle, we recommend testing and tracking your hormones more regularly with the Mira Monitor.
