[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, OP, if you're not successful this month, I'd start temping next month.  I was anti temping for a while, but found it a much clearer indicator than OPKs.  It doesn't confirm ovulationt il after it happened, but at least you have something to corroborate your OPKS.  I read SMEP but didn't follow it exactly.  Also make sure you're following the direction se xactly for your oPK - some don't want you to use FMU and want you to test between something like 10am and 4 pm after holding your pee for at least four hours.

FWIW, I'm pregnant now.  I also found charting CM to be way too confusing.  This last month I got a clear positive on OPK exactly when expected, midway though my cycle, but didn't get a temperature spike indicating ovulation, so I kept temping and using OPKs.  Got a positive on the OPKs about two weeks later (still in same cycle) which correlated with a temperature spike.  Had I not been temping, I would have stopped using the OPKs after the first positive because I would have assumed I had already ovulated and then would have potentially missed my actual fertile time and been really confused when my period was super late but pregnancy tests were negative.  Pregnancy test turned positive DPO, but well after two weeks of what I would have thought to be a late period (but that want really a late period in relation to actual ovulation day).

Good luck![/quote]

+1000. Do both. And if I had to pick between the two I would go with temping! In fact I did after TTC for so long using opks. Got pregnant second cycle using only temps. In my experience, the fertility friend app was wrong about which day I actually ovulated (based on first ultrasound) BUT it was crystal clear that it had happened by the raise in temperature and I was able to leave my husband alone for a few days!
