Top questions, answered
These are the questions our team hears most often from women considering PauseKit. If yours isn't here, just start a 7-day free trial and ask Miranda directly.
Is PauseKit for me — am I in early menopause or just perimenopause?
▼PauseKit is built for women navigating the active transition — early or treatment-induced menopause. That covers perimenopause (when periods are still happening but symptoms are ramping up), surgical or chemical menopause from hysterectomy, oophorectomy, chemotherapy, or endocrine therapies, and the years immediately after a final period when symptoms are still active.
If your symptoms are unpredictable, you're not yet in the post-menopause calibration phase, and you want a structured way to track and interpret what's happening, PauseKit is for you. If you're years past menopause and looking for long-term health-risk monitoring, our health-risks content hub is a better starting point. Not sure where you are? Take the free 20-symptom perimenopause checklist to see where your pattern falls.
What happens to my data — do you sell or share my symptom logs?
▼Your symptom logs, journal entries, diet logs, medications, and Miranda conversations are yours. We don't sell your data and we don't share it with advertisers. The only information we collect at signup is your email — required so your account persists across devices and so we can send transactional service emails (trial reminders, receipts, password resets).
Your journal entries and chat history are private to your account and are never used to train any model or surfaced to other users. Read the full breakdown in our privacy policy — including data retention, deletion on request, and how we handle Stripe billing data, which lives only with Stripe under their own privacy terms.
How is PauseKit different from a tracker app like Balance or a spreadsheet?
▼Tracker apps and spreadsheets collect data — PauseKit interprets it. The Miranda AI menopause coach reads your symptom, medication, and diet logs together, then gives evidence-grounded answers to the questions you're actually asking at 2 a.m.: "is this a hot flash or anxiety?", "should I bring this up with my doctor?", "is my sleep pattern hormone-related?".
After about a week of logging, the 30-day insight panel surfaces patterns — which symptoms spike together, what correlates with worse sleep, what your worst triggers look like — so daily entries turn into a story you can act on or share with your care team. PauseKit also includes a curated HRT, sexual-health, and career-management content library written for women in active transition, not a generic wellness audience.
What does Miranda actually do — is she a real doctor?
▼Miranda is an AI menopause coach — not a clinician, and not a replacement for medical care. She's trained specifically on HRT, perimenopause and treatment-induced menopause symptom patterns, sleep, mood, and the questions women most often have during the transition.
She explains what's likely going on in plain language, helps you draft questions to take to your doctor, and reflects on the patterns in your own logged data so the conversation with your care team is more focused. PauseKit membership includes unlimited 24/7 access to Miranda — see how she answers. Miranda always recommends checking in with your doctor for diagnosis, prescriptions, or anything that affects treatment decisions.
Is $17/month worth it — what do I actually get?
▼$17/month unlocks the full PauseKit membership: unlimited Miranda chat, daily symptom + medication + diet tracking, the 30-day insight panel, severity trend charts, a share-ready weekly summary you can hand to your doctor, and full access to the HRT, sexual-health, and career-management content library.
The free version of PauseKit is the 20-symptom perimenopause checklist and the public guides — no signup required. If you want the daily tracking, Miranda's interpretation of your logs, and the trend charts that turn entries into a story you can act on, the $17/month plan is the one that delivers that.
