Understanding Fertility Hormones with Mira

This episode of The Fertility Podcast Bitesize is in partnership with Mira, and you’ll be hearing from its founder Sylvia Kang to explain why it’s important to understand your fertility hormones and how monitoring them is a great way to help you understand whether or not you are ovulating and what might be going on with your menstrual cycle. Mira describes itself as offering personalized cycle prediction by measuring an exact number of hormone concentrations in urine samples, which can tell women their full fertile window, pinpointing ovulation, revealing hormone imbalances, and pregnancy status.

What was Discussed: 

  • How hormones are measured
  • What you are looking for 
  • What surges you are looking for in your LH and why
  • Oestrogen levels explained
  • When progesterone surges 
  • When the FSH surge should happen and what happens if it is too high 
  • When is your fertile window 
  • How Mira works and what you can learn from the app
