Is tracking BBT more accurate than OPK?

Question

bbt confuses the crap outta me so I've always just used opks but 8+ yrs later still nothing. Thinking maybe I should temp?

Answer

BBT is good for knowing you did actually ovulate when you see the dip, then the temp spike and you temps staying up before they dip down for AF. OPKs are good for detecting the surge before ovulation to help get the best window for pregnancy.

Answer

if you are one of the lucky women you get a dip right before ovulation! not all women notice it or even know about it! I'm just now trying to understand this BBT stuff but you should Google on that! it rises after ovulation yes but you can get a dip right before! good luck to you! This gif is how I feel about understanding all of the ttc stuff lol

Answer

I would definitely recommend BBT. While it won't predict ovulation, it can help you get a better understanding of your cycle, and whether or not you are ovulating. You just take you temp at the same time every morning before even sitting up in bed. It can be a pain, but you can learn a lot from it.
