MiraMax Fertility Monitor & Ovulation Test Kit for Women, Track LH, PdG, E3G Hormone Levels, Digital Fertility Tracker + 10 Ovulation Test Strips, Monitor and Detect Ovulation at-Home with Mira App

I've been using my Mira Analyzer 9 cycles now and love it! I'm 31 years old, 5'2 and 132 lbs Below I'll list my pros and cons but I also want to mention that review comes from a history of over 10 years using different fertility monitors including clearblue FM, ovacue, regular opks (clearblue and first response), digital opks, daysy fertility monitor, ladycomp FM, Ava bracelet and probably some others I am forgetting. I have also used countless fertility/period apps including clue, kindara, Ava, daysy, flo, fertility friend, ovia and countless others.Pros:Mira is the only monitor to ever give me an exact LH number! It is precise and accurate.It is extremely easy to use. Just dip the stick in urine for 10 seconds, replace the top and stick in your analyzer and get back to whatever you were doing!Ease of syncing! I have never had a fertility device that synced so effotlessly! As soon as I open my app and my monitor is on I hear a chirp and all my daily testing info is automatically updated. I have never had a single syncing issue. In comparison with daysy this is a big deal because as much as I liked my daysy, it was notorious for not syncing my data to the app and sometimes erasing my data from the device itself.Battery life: For me personally, battery life is extremely important. For me a person that tests every day I have to make sure that my device is fully charged and ready to go when I need it. When I used my Ava device the battery life didn't last as long as I would like and because of that I would have to plug it in and often forget to put it back on at night time. The battery life on my mira analyzer always last me at least two cycles before each charge.Now to the most important pro of all in my opinion, Mira's ability to learn your cycle more accurately than any other fertility monitor I have ever used and also helped me discover problems in my cycle that many OBGYNs missed despite blood work. out of all the fertility applications and monitors that I have ever used, I have never found a period tracking app or device to accurately predict my cycle despite it being within the traditional 28-36 day window. However my mira analyzer has somehow been able to predict my cycle to the day since the first cycle I used it. For some background information about me, I started my menstrual cycle late at the age of 16. And even when it started it would constantly skip months sometimes as many as 4 to 6. This happened to me up until my early twenties in which my cycle became somewhat regular after the birth of my first child. However I still continued to have problems with occasional spotting and sometimes cycles as long as 72 days. I went to countless OB/GYNs about this problem who all said that because I was not overweight and my blood test were within normalish ranges then I did not suffer from PCOS and they did not know what was wrong. My husband and I were eventually diagnosed with unexplained infertility as well. It was during this time that I wanted to learn more about my cycles and begin to buy any fertility monitor that I could get my hands on. It wasn't till I got my mira analyzer that I discovered my body would have lh surges over and over again but never actually ovulate and release an egg. Every monitor that I used never picked up this problem because they either stopped asking for information after the first lh surge or based my ovulation day solely off of the length of my cycle! Because of this information I was able to take the information from my Mira and my RE was able to diagnosis me with PCOS and annovulation. My husband and I suffered with infertily for so many years and even though we are still trying, my Mira finally gave me answers to questions I've had since my teens and I could not be more grateful for this company!Time of day: no more holding morning pees! I love that I can test anytime of day or night and know my LH concentrations right then!Innovation: I believe the sky is the limit for Mira. They are constantly working on finding new healthcare test to integrate intimacy their wands. Within the next couple months they will be releasing a want that also measures estrogen and you never have to buy a new analyzer! Honestly, I believe within due time I wouldn't be surprised if they could make a wand for HCG pregnancy hormones and put all these other companies out of business. That would be a game changer for test addicts like myself.Now to my list of cons:Recurring cost: While I will admit most other monitors that I have had are a one time cost, Mira wands do have to be repurchased monthly. If you are looking for something only for one or two cycles, I would not say this is the device for you, however if your someone that wants to learn more about their cycle, track ovulation over the course of multiple cycles or want to use it for knowledge of your overall fertility health, there is not a better fertility monitor on the market for you than Mira. Mira wands are not comparable to clearblue wands and contain an actual computer chip in it. The quality and technology is well worth the money!My only other "complaint" about my Mira is that occasionally I will have a wand or two in my batch that doesn't work. And that can be disappointing when it is your last wand left. I have found that as long as I save my urine until after I see that my test was successful, it reduces my frustration because I can still test that batch.I hope this review helps others who are like me or on the edge of whether or not to buy it versus something else.

After trying to conceive for over a year using standard ovulation test strips, and I wasn't certain I was even ovulating every month, so I bit the bullet and spent the money for this. The Mira system has been so much more informative about what's going on with my hormones, and its ability to detect and even confirm ovulation is really, really helpful! It's really easy to use, and there are more options available in the app than I chose to explore. It's hard to say it was worth the cost, simply because it is SO expensive... but it IS basically at-home lab testing. I reasoned that it was worth the money if it would help us conceive without having to pursue fertility treatments. Thankfully, we just found out that I'm pregnant! I truly don't think it would've happened for us if I hadn't invested in this product.Since the wands are mad expensive, too, here's a suggestion:The app will recommend testing literally every day until your next period starts. To make the 20 pack of wands last more than a single month, I recommend that you stop testing once you A) confirm ovulation, or B) reach the point where ovulation should have happened if it was going to but looks like it isn't this month.

I have been using this device for a month and a half, a little after I delivered my fourth child. I got this with the goal of tracking in order to give my body a little break, and for religious reasons I do not use anything else (it's not advertised as such but it can be used for that if you learn how). It's the most precise, the easiest way to check your hormonal levels available on the market. It has an app that will help you detect your ovulation window, or lack thereof at certain stages of your life. It also has a blog where you can read several articles on fertility and learn more about the signs in your body. You can also generate a report to give to your physician or coach, so they'll have a good idea where to begin and what to do. I assume you can also watch what effect fertility supplements can do to your body in real time. This is a great little device with great battery life! The initial cost is an investment. I use the Max wands and the only reasons why I put in 4 stars are: 1) if you're unsure of when to test (such as prevention while breastfeeding), it can get expensive, and 2) I wish the screen were more interactive so that you wouldn't have to always use the phone in addition to the device, in short It would be perfect if it had a little calendar, chart, all the app functions in the device itself. I used to use Clearblue and that's the only thing I miss from that. But with Mira, you can recharge it, you can test any time, you have precision and not just a "Low, Medium, High" reading. It's also more hygienic because there's a chip that's read in the machine and not the dipped part, that one gets covered by the cap. Maybe the chip is what makes it more expensive. Anyway, this is a keep, unless Mira comes up with and independent device that has a built-in app. If you're in a stage where you're having more regular cycles, you can reduce the amount of sticks to half and only test during that window (speak to your provider/coach- in the app you can also schedule a consultation with one of their providers, I haven't tried that), and maybe you can use the cheap test strips the other days for peace of mind. Highly recommended.
