Can you temp and be on the pill at the same time?

[DeeDee1981]

Would I get accurate charts if I started temping before coming off the pill or is it a dumb idea?

Not sure, I'm not very familiar with the pill, does one still ovulate on it?

There is little point really. Temping shows that you are ovulating, which you won't be when you are on the pill. Other than getting a baseline temp you won't gain much from it.

No, i don't think you ovulate. It also wouldnt reflect your natural cycle length as it forces it to be 28 days.

No, you don't ovulate. That's how the pill works. Also your cycle is false as the bleed you have every 28 days is not a true period.

In my opinion I would stop the pill, wait for your first period off it, then start to temp. All you will get from temping now is an annoying start to the day.

Also, if you don't have any known fertility problems I would start off with a couple of cycles of just shagging and see where you end up before going down the road of temping as that way madness lies.

Ok thanks ladies, I'll wait until I stop the pill.

I don't have any bleeds with the pill I'm on - does that make any difference?

No Deedee. The whole point of temping is to track ovulation which you will not currently do.
