Temping, OPK, or both?

Alana

My husband and I are TTC #1. Two months ago I started using OPK strips to detect my surge. From there, I know I ovulate shortly after.

I’ve never done temping. Can someone please explain? What is the point? Does it show you when you’re ovulating just like OPK strips do?

I’m not sure what will increase my chances of getting pregnant. I’m already using OPK strips and BD often within my fertility window. I don’t want to spend money on/ start another variable by temping if it’s just going to tell me when I ovulate because I already know from the OPKs.

Can someone please explain what I’m missing? Bonus points if you got pregnant after tracking with one or the other, or both! 😉

Thanks!
