My 1st month of CBFM and temping.........
Hi Ladies,
Just thought I would tell you of my experience using the CBFM and temping for the first time........
I have roughly 35 day cycles, my CBFM gave a lot of highs and then peaked on CD 19 - which is about right.
Funnily on previous cycles, about 9 days before AF was due I was getting really strange tummy pains and cramps on and off for a few days, my tummy was always blaoted, and it felt like I had trapped wind. It was in the back of my mind that perhaps these were OV pains, and I was a late ovulator - which I was a bit worried about.
Now, this month, I had the same symptoms at the same time as my peak and the following few days - so I'm thinking it was right previously and I had been OV'ing late. This month it must have corrected itself?
I'm now on CD23 - my CBFM has gone back to low, but this morning was when I had my temp rise - so I'm thinking maybe I ov'd yesterday - which would be a few days after my peak? We BD yesterday too luckily!
I was dubious about temping but have found it helpful and reasuring - and the temp increase is quite prominant at 0.5 rise.
Just thought I'd share my experience for any of you thinking of starting to temp etc..........

I'm not sure how temps work, but I do think you should believe in your CBFM.
Good luck
