Do You Temp?? Im Over It Lately

Please help give me a kick in the butt! I was temping the last 2 cycles and this 3rd cycle Im not temping at all. Today is CD 13 (normally O around 21-23) and I just cant bring myself to do it lately.

I have been so disappointed and got my hopes up the last 2 months that this month I feel like Im running out of gas lol! I know temping is good to see you O, but have you ladies given up on it...or do you temp everyday?


I just wanted to add:

I felt like temping was making me get more stressed out... I would analyze my temps, compare them to FF charts, etc. lol

Re: Do You Temp?? Im Over It Lately

I'm on my second cycle of temping and even I grow tired of it.

My way of thinking as I continue waking at the same time - the end product will be ALL worth it. If I can time it just right and get that BFP - it will ALL be worth it! All the tears, aggravation and waiting!!!

Re: Do You Temp?? Im Over It Lately

I don't temp, but my dr was telling me how once you get a handle on your body and establish a pattern with your CM, many women no longer feel the need to temp or use OPKs. Yes, your O date can change, but your CM, CP, and other symptoms also indicate that you're about to O or did O (I know for me, it's all pretty clear). If you feel like it's stressing you out, and you can tell from physical signs that you're about to O, I say don't do it.

I temped for 2 cycles and then got lazy. Like you, I stressed a lot more and analzed too much. I stopped because I didn't see it helping me. Just using opk's now.

I stopped this month.

I like it, and will continue to do it. Yes, it's easy to obsess over every hundredth of a degree... but the alternative is to guess. I like knowing what's happening, even if it's not the answer I wanted. But you have to do what's right for you. If you feel like it's too much, take a break.

i skipped this cycle cause im on BCP so there was no point.
i will prob go back next cycle - but i will be medicated so the temps won't be true. i think ill still do it anyway just to see - but its hard to trust them when you are medicated, and with all the monitoring i prob dont need to either.

Re: Do You Temp?? Im Over It Lately

I stopped temping a looooong time ago. It got to be SO annoying, I wasn't waking up the same time every time back when I was doing it, it was just a nuisance. I bought the CBEFM and that worked out a lot better for me.
