I started charting my temps this cycle on the FF app; this morning FF told me that my temps seem to fluctuate more than usual – thank you, yesterday’s low temp.
In addition to charting my temps, I’ve also been using the CBE OPKs and the fertility monitor. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday – OPKs were negative, FM was low. This morning the OPK was negative, but the FM was all “woo hoo, it’s a peak day!” WTF, it went from low to peak, skipping right over high? With a negative OPK??
I think the point of this post was just to gripe. And does anyone want to recommend their BBT? I'm in the market for a new one. I have a digital one (can't remember the brand right now) & it measures to the hundredth of a degree.
This BBT thermometer is seriously the best! It was the first I tried, but I lost it on a vacation. I then tried the Target brand and one from Walmart. Both tested to the 100th. I don't know if the brand wasn't as accurate or it was the differences with testing to the 100th, but I never got a good pattern with those. I reordered the one I originally had and my chart immediately went back to normal looking.
Also - sorry about your fertility monitor/OPK gripes.
I just use the Wondfo OPKs and have been really happy with them. I can see a clear fade in and fade out. They are simple, cheap, and easy. I've never tried the CBE monitor, but I think I prefer to see the actual test, rather than the machine's interpretation.

I've never had a positive OPK test despite managing to get pregnant (with losses) three times. Every month I decide not to use them again and then I can't help myself.
