Can someone give me a tutorial
on how to temp.
When do I do it?
What am I looking for?
Is there a website for me to plug in my temps to help me see whats going on?
I need a "How To Temp For Dummies"
please, please, please help a sister out
I have been using OPK's but I really would like to pinpoint "O" and OPK's cant do that.
TIA

FF has a great charting course when you sign up on their site. It's free, and they email you a detailed lesson each day. Here are some of the basics:
When: When you wake up. But literally, the moment you open your eyes. Try not to move too much; keep your thermometer within arm's reach of your bed. Make sure you're up at the same time each morning (yes, weekends too).
How: Stick a BBT in your mouth, under your tongue, and leave it there until it beeps. Start on CD1 or 2, the latest. Your chart will be inaccurate if you start later.
The point of temping is to confirm O. You've mentioned that you use OPKs, and they help detect LH, the hormone that's released right before O. After you O, your temperature "spikes," and should stay higher than the first half of your cycle, until the end of your LP (or your pregnancy, whichever comes first).
I was completely anti-temping, and now I wish I started doing it sooner. Or maybe I'm just a big giant nerd. But I like having a visual of what my body's doing. Hopefully, you will too. Good luck!!!

Re: Can someone give me a tutorial
Thank you very much Rachel.
I want to try and get the hang of temping this month since we are ttc next month.
I am going to go to the sight and play around. I also have TCOYF so I know there is a whole section inthere on temping and charting.
Thanks again for the info
