I'm trying to prepare myself for my next cycle- I ordered a BBT thermometer and OPK strips. I've been reading up on how and when to take my temp but I wanted to hear yalls opinions as well. Do I only check in AM when I wake up after sleeping for at least 3 hours? Any other times of the day I need to check it?

And then the strips I use in the middle of the day, not with FMU correct?

I feel like a child with all of my questions but I'm 30 and trying for #3 🤣

The first came after the one and only time we didn't use protection and the 2nd came after almost 5 years of trying. I'm trying to make it not take so long this time.
