TTC: First time tracking ovulation using BBT and ovulation tests

[discoballsunflowers]

Wondering if anyone could put my mind at ease. Currently TTC and I’m tracking for the first time using ovulation sticks and BBT previously have just used apps as a guide and I’ve been pretty good at knowing my cycle, but want to try ovulation tests and BBT.

I’ve been tracking my temp daily at the same time whilst using ovulation tests daily, it seems I ovulate a lot sooner after my period than I thought, but the ovulation test picked up my peak, I noticed my usual change in mucus and we DTD several times over this period across the days, I was confident this was ovulation. I’m continuing to test LH and my LH is lowering now, but my temperature BBT is confusing me. I have not seen a significant peak and sustained high temperature which I’ve read I need to expect to see to know that ovulation has actually happened.

as this is my first time tracking in this way I just want reassurance I suppose, am I worrying unnecessarily re the temp, I’m nervous we’ve missed the boat this time.

It might be worth just doing the tests for now, they are relatively accurate. I found the temp tracking too stressful.

What method are you using to temp track? It's notoriously unreliable unless you are really spot on and consistent with it. Plus how many days has it been since you got the LH peak?

@LavenderSweetPeathank you. I’m not stressing too much about temp. The first peak I saw on LH tests wasn’t that high but the LH picked it up as high compared to the previous tests, I continued to do LH tests and got a very high peak a week later, which was spot on with what my body was doing (TMI discharge)
