It shows daily ovulation and hormone fluctuations, giving you a fuller picture than a single blood test during early perimenopause when cycles are still happening.

if you're in the early perimenopause transition, you're still cycling. This is where tracking your cycle can help. This is where devices like Mira— Mira is a urinary testing device that you actually— it's kind of like a glucose monitor. You pee on a little strip, you put it in the device, and it tests your hormones to see kind of where you're at. Because that can help you understand, are you actually ovulating on a daily basis? It can show you throughout the entire month. Because true, yes, lab work is a single day when you go to the the blood draw facility and get your labs done. So newer devices like Mira are great for perimenopause. It's great to understand where you are and tracking for the cycles and especially identifying, even though you may still be having a, a cycle, whether you're actually ovulating.
