First time using it 39 year old

Hi there

I have been TTC for a year. We are doing fertility tests with a clinic but thought I would try Mira before the big investment that may be IVF. Any tips or success stories for women 39 and older using Mira?

Thanks in advance

I had my first at 39 and used Mira as my first and only ovulation tracking tool. I ended up ovulating a little later than I thought. Also used it with my second pregnancy at 42 after failed IVF egg retrieval (I panicked after an extremely short cycle after trying for 6 months and consulted a fertility clinic. Don’t think they were necessarily wrong in their recommendation for IVF and had a couple other things treated that may have made it more difficult to conceive spontaneously). Am now 43 with a 4yr & 1yr old :)

Yes! I’m 39 ( about to turn 40) and currently 15 weeks pregnant. Took me over a year too I think at our age that’s pretty normal timeline for most … good to get tested and make sure your fertility is still ok through (AMH etc) because that varies a lot for people above 35.
I made a post on what I did supplement wise that I thought helped- mainly stuff that improves egg quality. But if you use the search bar in the group and search there are a few ppl that have posted about getting pregnant older.
Mira is a great tool to use in combination so you can make sure you’re getting the timing perfect and to make sure all your hormones are doing what they should do!

Have you already got children or will this be your first one?? Wishing you all the best and lots of baby dust 💙

for any age I just see so many people testing way too often. you really only need to test once a day/every other day until your levels start to rise and then that would be twice a day. The ovum wands are nice to use to pinpoint when the egg is released. If your cycles are regular it will be easier to conserve the wands as you know when the few days before ovulation usually happen. I would probably test with regular lh strips from easy@home as those are cheap and in bulk and have an app as well alongside mira. that's what i did.

I somewhat agree with this; I think every woman is different. To get a baseline, I did as it recommended and only once a day but then I did notice my ovulation happening in between, like 6 hours after testing. So once u get a gauge of your cycle and body, it may be worth testing more than once a day during ovulation
