Ali Riley’s Journey: Finding Agency Through Hormone Tracking During IVF
As Ali Riley navigates rehabilitation from a potentially career-ending injury, she is courageously sharing her personal experience with the emotional and physical challenges of in vitro fertilization (IVF). A key part of her journey has been using Mira’s at-home hormone tracking technology, which she credits with giving her a sense of agency during a period of profound uncertainty.
Riley began monitoring her hormone levels with Mira unsure if motherhood was a possibility for her. “So many parts of my life this year have felt up in the air, with a lot of uncertainty, but Mira gave me a routine. It gave me concrete information to rely on,” she shared. “Having this resource was powerful—the one thing I knew I wanted, when I wasn’t able to play soccer or spend time with my team, was to do something for my future. And that was to have the option of having a baby.”
When she decided to pursue IVF, Riley continued using Mira. “I felt like I had a roadmap in front of me,” she said. “When I saw that I was still in a late reproductive phase, I felt a sense of hope. And being able to track my levels at home during IVF gave me peace of mind between doctor’s appointments — I wasn’t left wondering what was happening inside my body.”
