What are using to ttc & keep track of ovulation? I'm trying to figure out what works best. Also, What have you tried and didn't like?

I bought some OPK's but i'm not really sure how well they work cuz i've never used them but i am gonna try those too.

I am temping and checkin CP and CM...the temping is pretty dummy proof...Fertility Friend does all the figuring out for me...the CM is pretty easy to figure out too...its the CP that gets kind of confusing for me...I can't always tell what is firm or medium...or high and low...lol...it takes a little while...DH got me digital OPKs for mommys day so we are going to try them this cycle...

Good luck with whatever method you decide to use!!

I'm trying everything! I'm temping and charting, I bought a saliva monitor and OPK's. Plus, since my cycle started on a Saturday (same day as my last cycle before getting pg), I'm making sure that we are BD'ing on the same days that were successful the last time (plus several other days too for good measure).

Plus, I'm collecting all the Baby Dust I can get!

I'll put down my two cents. I don't temp since I get up very early and Dh still as sleep when I wake up.The OPK have worked very well for me in the past, I also check cm, I don't check cp because I can't tell if it's firm, high, medium, I tried but I'm a lost case

Let's see....

I use Fertility Friend.

I temp, check CM and cervix position, OPK, and a saliva scope (fun but not very good at predicting O).

I actually like OPK's the best for a head start on O and then temping to make sure I did O

I'm going to start tracking my temperature in the morning. Charting seems confusing, but I think I'll be able to pick up on it quickly.

i search for an ovulation calculator online, and enter my period dates. then we um, make the most of those 4-5 days the computer says i'm fertile

i tried using opk, but never got a pos, and have been trying to figure out where my cervix is in all that mess, but it all kinda feels the same and i can't find it lol.

the ovulation calculator worked for me the first time i tried it. i got pg that cycle.
