What do you trust more for O tracking?

Question

Have yet to get a positive opk but according to my bbt chart, I already ovulated? I’ve been doing this for months and they usually always match up within a day???

Answer

I did both because an opk will show when ovulation is happening but bbt is more obvious after ovulation already happens. Just my opinion though. After 6 months it was cool to see how much they were exactly the same. Unfortunately no bfp

Answer

OPK only tells you when you're body is trying or gearing up to ovulate. BBT is the only way to confirm ovulation has, in fact, occured. So using both combined is best, because BBT is retrospective- as it tells you once it's already happened,  so doesnt assist with planning sex accordingly

Answer

Bbt wont tell you you're about to ovulate...it just helps confirm that you do. Once you track for awhile and get to know your patterns it might tell you when ovulation is near but until that point all it's good for is confirming.

Answer

OPK’s are great but I love bbt, so accurate

Answer

It’s best to do both, but BBT is definitely more accurate than OPK alone for confirming that ovulation has occurred. Opks are tricky because if you don’t test at the right time you could miss your surge entirely, and never get a positive, or the opposite, you could get too many positives and be unable to pinpoint ovulation (common with PCOS). BBT is a proven method to confirm and track ovulation, it just tells you after the fact, while OPKs have the potential to let you know before you ovulate. That’s why both should be used together.
