I was wondering, can you track ovulation by taking your temp alone or do you have to do CM too? With BF I don't have a consistent CM pattern... so I was wondering how I track that. I'm interested in watching what my temp will be doing. I doubt I'm ovulating, so will it just stay the same then? Also, doesn't temping tell you that ovulation has already happened? So, how do you "time" anything if you can only tell it already happened. Sorry for all the ?'s! TIA!!

Temping can only tell you that you ovulated after you've already ovulated. The only way you could predict ovulation by using temps is by tracking your temps over the course of say 3 or 4 months and if it's consistent then you can predict when it will come the next month, though it's not a guarantee. CM helps to tell you that ovulation is coming up. I would just say to find out roughly when ovulation is in your cycle and then go crazy with dh for like a week around that time....lol.

Hey if you want to start temping, but have not read alot about it. The course at Fertility Friend is great. It is just the basics. You can set up a free chart and take the course. They email you a short lesson everyday with a small quiz and away you go. It is very easy to get started and fun/interesting to learn more about your body. But the bd is up to you to get right. :-D You only know after if you had good timing.
