Fertility awareness method contraception

I have been using the FAM of contraception for the past few months. 
I did a lot of research about it before considering it but I would love some personal experience and/or advice for it to be as affective as possible? What do you do personally?
I am currently:
- recording CM
- recording basal body temp (often forget tho)
- using ovulation test strips 
- getting to know the symptoms I experience while ovulating
Thanks in advance ladies! ❤️
