Question for those TTCs (Trying to Conceive)

Dalinda · 12-01-2012

To all the TTC moms in here. Have you heard about the Symptothermal Cycle Observation? It's monitoring your temperature and another fertility symptom. Also in this way, you're able to identify your ovulation time accurately. It requires time really, doing it with a pen and paper. I'm not sure though if this works for our irregular friends in here. But this worked fantastically with my colleague. I hope it does to you ladies.

Never heard of it. But is it effective? I mean, have you tried it or know someone who has been successful with it? Sounds interesting.

Oh, so technical at first but I think using it alongside other ways of monitoring our ovulation will increase the chances of our baking the bun!

You know it's like finding the best one for your lifestyle. For instance, Acupuncture is a little scary for me whereas charting is less complicated so I opt for it as one of the methods I use. The Symptothermal way could be easy, but I'm not sure though if I could religiously track my temperature.

I agree with you Abana. It's like finding the method best suited to each of our lifestyle as it does vary per person.

I agree. It seems a little challenging because bodily temperature is often influenced by the environment so this may not really accurate at all.

Then the best thing to do then is doing more methods than one to up the odds of getting pregnant. Oh, better said than done with our busy schedules as working mums and wifeys!

Uh-huh, it's a bit tricky for me too. Using my temperature as a basis for ovulation may not always be accurate. But you've got a good point. Nothing is really accurate. There's always a small percentage of chance that it may not seem to be.

Oh, is that so? That's the difficult part of it then. The first time I've learned about it, it's a no-no for me too.

Yes, it sounds a bit difficult to monitor though it might be challenging at first and would be easier eventually.
