Your Fertility Journey with Clair

At Patriot Conceptions, we understand that every surrogacy journey is different. Some begin with questions, others begin with a clear plan, but no matter where you’re starting you deserve guidance backed by science.

With reproductive medicine constantly evolving, so are the tools available to help people better understand their bodies. That’s why we’re proud to share our partnership with Clair, a company developing hormone tracking technology designed to help users better track their reproductive health. Here’s how their innovation can be a great supplementary tool in your journey.

Hormone Awareness

Hormones are at the center of reproductive health. Estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormones (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) regulate ovulation and help prepare the body for pregnancy. Navigating the effects of all of these can feel confusing, unpredictable, and often overwhelming.

Traditionally, tracking and understanding hormone levels would require lab work or single-point testing. However, Clair is developing wearable technology that enables continuous tracking of hormone patterns throughout the menstrual cycle. Access to real-time data allows you to gauge these patterns over time, as opposed to the snapshot you’d be able to get from traditional testing.

For intended parents preparing for IVF or third-party reproduction, understanding these patterns can be very helpful for families wanting to take their journey into their own hands. It can bring clarity to conversations with fertility specialists and make decisions in your journey feel more collaborative.

While medical decisions should remain in the hands of licensed professionals, personal awareness can go a long way in raising your confidence throughout your surrogacy journey.

Hormone awareness can influence:

• Understanding of cycle patterns

• Insight into mood and energy shifts

• Sleep and overall wellness

• Broader reproductive health conversations

To be clear, Clair is not a fertility clinic, and it should not replace or take precedence over genuine medical guidance. Instead, it fosters transparency and awareness in your reproductive health and surrogacy journey alike.

Can I Trust Clair?

While these tools are not a substitute for clinical care, they can contribute to a more empowered fertility journey. That being said, when tested against clinical grade hormone assays, Clair reported their wearable hormone trackers to have 94.1% accuracy overall.

Where this technology falls short:

• Inconsistency in tracking irregular menstrual cycles due to unpredictable nature

How Claire’s there for you:

• Very transparent about the technology’s limitations with irregular cycles Currently conducting expanded clinical studies to improve performance with irregular cycles
