Background and Objectives: The Marquette Method (MM) has been used for many years to track the postpartum return of fertility using the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor (CBFM). A new quantitative urine hormone monitor (the Mira Analyzer) was compared to the CBFM in one previous study, and using this pilot data, several women have started to use the Mira Analyzer in the postpartum transition to fertility. Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective, observational case series that analyzed hormone data on the Mira Analyzer during the postpartum period. Participants were invited to share their postpartum cycle and hormone observations. Quantitative hormones in the urine included estrone-3-glucuronide (E3G), luteinizing hormone (LH), and pregnanediol glucuronide (PDG). Data were collected using an electronic survey and an online portal for hormone data. Data collected included participant demographics, menstrual cycle characteristics, and reproductive health history. Hormone range values were calculated, and thresholds were identified that would best predict the first ovulation that led to the first postpartum menstrual period, as well as in transition cycles. Hormone patterns were identified in the context of previous studies. Results: Twenty participants contributed data for the analysis. Triggering ovulation before the first period postpartum (Cycle 0) usually required higher LH thresholds than for regularly cycling women. Three different patterns were observed in the return of fertility postpartum: minimal ovarian activity, follicular activity without ovulation, and the early return of fertility. Abstinence rates for avoiding pregnancy with experimental thresholds were calculated. Conclusions: Higher LH thresholds in Cycle 0 suggest a decreased responsiveness of the ovaries to LH stimulation from the pituitary. This study replicates postpartum hormone patterns from a previous study. Larger studies are planned to evaluate the effectiveness for avoiding pregnancy using the Mira Analyzer in the postpartum return of fertility.
