after my last chart...and it was soooo pretty and triphasic....I am wondering if I should just NOT temp and just do OPKs and chart any CM changes...

Hi Tiffany,

I'm normally for not temping when you need the mental break, but I think I would advise you to temp simply because you have so much riding on this cycle. You need to give it your all to get that BFP!

When DH leaves, you can (obviously) take a break from temping then :-)

Good luck!

Hi Tiffany,
I think on an emotional level not temping is a good idea. I don't know how regular your cycle is but is it is regular then you should have a pretty good idea when you O. Mine is 28-29 days and I have 2 days a when I can predict ovulation. I know not everyone does but if you can I would not temp, keep an eye on your chart for ovulation purposes and check CM too give yourself a better idea. Worrying about your temperatures is really going too help you get pregnant, if your anything like me it'll just worry you that your chart isn't looking right, that your temps aren't where they should be and you'll worry yourself into a tizzy. BD like mad, have fun with your husband and enjoy your time together. If your supposed too get PG you will:) We are here for you and GL:)

I'm not sure. Part of me thinks it will be less stressful, but another part of me wants you to do everything possible for your BFP this month. Do you normally O right around the same time? If you do and you're going to cover BDing fine, I guess not temping would be OK.

What kind of OPK do you use? I use the internet test strips and they do nothing but drive me crazy, so I'd hate to rely on them alone.

How have you found them to be? When do you usually get your +, before you O?
