HELP can't find a study

Hey, I am doing an essay and I cannot find a study (or there was also a good article about the study) which was on my computer yesterday and apparently last night my son closed all my windows and it's gone now and I can't find it again. I just spent 20 minutes that I don't have, looking for this darn thing and I really need it. If anyone knows where it is and can post a link for me I would really appreciate it.

The study was on methods of determining ovulation and it found that temping and cervical mucus were only accurate 30% of the time and the rest of the time, the day people thought they were ovulating was actually wrong.

Hi atomic

Had a quick look online, I have found something, but not sure if it is what you are looking for:

lifeissues.net | Basal Body Temperature Assessment: Is It Useful to Couples Seeking Pregnancy?

If not, hope you find it :)

Looking forward to the study, although its going to scare me. For religious reasons we are only allowed to use NFP for birth control, and that has everything to do with figuring out ovulation!

it wasn't specifically that article but it has the guy's name who did the study which is what I needed!!. Thank you so very much!!!!!

don't be scared, it's still great for birth control because you avoid intercourse in your fertile window and until you ahve your temp rise. The point of the study is that when people swear on a stack of bibles that they ovulated this day or that day and thus "prove" timing to be true, it's not because people were only right about their O day 30% of the time using temping and symptoms

also shows that OPK much more reliable than temping. i think we need to get away from the idea that temping is mandatoryfor pink sway because it makes people get swaycessed

ugh sorry typos, baby sleeping on arm

also note that if you combine temping with monitoring cm then the accuracy goes up
