I had to stop temping for now. I think I may need to rely on CM, rhythm, and cervical position as much as I don't like touching my cervix. My schedule is simply too wacky for temping at this point.
I tried all last month, even after the big "oops!" up until I got my period and my BBT is all over the place. I wake up too much, I sleep at weird times, etc. Hmmm.
You're very welcome!! Happy to help.Quote:

I have been going back and forth about OPKs, not because I think they are inaccurate, but because I think it may help considering I have PCOS and last month's cycle was not as predictable and the past. I feel I'm in a testosterone upswing too because I can tell I'm gaining weight and my facial hair is really wanting to battle some men's facial even though I'm strictly low carb at the moment. I am avoiding Vitex this cycle, too.
If I can cut my hours back at work, I may be able to temp again. But you're right, I think for now, it may be best to do the combination of CM, position, and OPKs.
Good luck!!
My temps are always all over the place during my period, then even out, I have an O dip around CD 20 and then a slow rise. What does that say about my hormones? Is a slow rise indicative of low progesterone?
Not necessarily. That is just one of many normal temp. patterns. The only thing that can indicate low prog is a short luteal phase. How many days is it between when you O and when AF begins?? If you have a 13-14 day LP, your prog is fine.

What if you don't have any noticeable signs of ovulation, except for an increase in sex drive? I don't get the egg white mucous. What can I do to increase this?
Are you trying for a boy or a girl??
