Which is easier when tracking ovulation?

Question

We are on month 4 of TTC and I’m looking into adding either OPK testing or BBT tracking into my routine. Just curious if one is easier to keep up with than the other. Thanks!

Answer

Do both if you can because they tell you different things. OPK gives you a heads up that you’re about to ovulate so you can be sure to BD and have sperm waiting for when the egg is released. BBT tells you that you already ovulated so that you know it’s OK to stop BD because the egg only lives up to 24 hours. Both are really helpful to know what your cycles are like! Some people find it stressful to temp but I think it’s really interesting to see the higher temps in the luteal phase and to know that I ovulated for sure.
