Fertility Tracking in Perimenopause and Menopause - Yup, It's A Thing! with Rose Mackenzie
Episode 563
Monday, 23 February, 2026
In this episode, I sat down with Rose MacKenzie, Clinical Manager at Mira, to discuss hormone tracking and why it matters from puberty through menopause. Rose has over a decade of experience as a natural family planning instructor and has helped countless women understand their hormonal patterns. Key Topics: Why hormone tracking matters at every age If you have functioning ovaries, your hormones fluctuate and impact everything about you The limitations of period tracking apps Most apps use outdated calendar methods and only 4 out of 74 studied apps were actually accurate How the Mira fertility tracker works An at-home hormone monitoring system that tracks estrogen, LH, progesterone, and FSH through urine testing My personal experience At 46 and in perimenopause, I've been using Mira for two months and the data has been fascinating Understanding perimenopause Why this phase is so confusing and how tracking can give you back control Failed ovulation attempts What happens when your body tries to ovulate but doesn't succeed (common in perimenopause, PCOS, and postpartum) Timing progesterone supplementation Why taking it on a set day (like day 14) might not align with YOUR body's actual ovulation The importance of FSH Why this often-ignored hormone deserves more attention, especially 6+ years before menopause Who can benefit from tracking From teens to postmenopausal women, including those who've had hysterectomies or ablations Let's dive in!
