TTC NEWBIE. Does BBT actually help?

Question

I️ bought a basal body thermometer, because I️ don’t even know when I’m ovulating due to having irregular periods. Does the thermometer actually help? And what should your temperature be when ovulating? Or would I️ just be better off getting opk? Also, I️ researched these supplements that supposedly help regulate hormone imbalance as well as make my mans sperm stronger. Has anyone ever used these and do they help?

Answer

Yes it does help when combined when tracking with other signs such as OPKs, CM or cervical positions. It will confirm that you are ovulating when you see the rise in temps. There is no general rule on what the temp will be, just depends on what your pattern is. You will usually see an increase of .4 and stay elevated for at least 3 days. I can’t speak on the supplements though.

Answer

I used OPKs along with BBT to determine ovulation and then it also shows the decline in temp right before AF. It’s very useful information

Answer

My chart for example, on CD 17 I ovulated, that is determined as my ovulation day because it was the last lowest temps before they began to rise, once they stayed high for 3 days I knew I successfully ovulated. Also it may be silly but if you are not make sure are using a BBT specific thermometer. ☺️
