? about temping
I've never temped before but I have used the OPKs and I usually get my surge from day 11-13.
I have a basal body thermometer and I understand I should take my temp as soon as I wake up. I understand that a rise in temp will tell me that ovulation already occurred.
My question is: Why do I have to temp for an entire month? Can't I start temping around CD 8 and continue until I see a spike in temperature while keeping a very close eye on the few days after my surge?
TIA

Re: ? about temping
You can do that. It's not "by the book" but there's no reason you can't if you are certain you ovulate in a particular timeframe. I don't temp when I have AF.

? about temping
People do it every single day to keep up the routine. I know once I stopped testing after O was confirmed, I never picked it back up. But I was really good about it for months... then I just got lazy.
Also I recommend temping after O is confirmed because you can tell when AF is coming as your temps will drop towards the end of your LP. It saved me a loootttt of money on PG Tests. No point in testing if your temps drop to the coverline, ya know?

I temped before my iui cycles (no need to temp with all that monitoring) and I would do it day 8 until two days after O.
