My fertility monitor and the body temp don't match....

I checked my temp today, and it definitely wasn't rising. So, my monitor just jumped the gun and I got ahead of myself ;-))) I guess I should wait little longer to see if the my temp will rise within next couple of days.

If the monitor says it's fertile time, it probably is. Your temp won't go up until o is over.

So it does not rise together with the Luteinizing Hormone?

No, your temp rises after you ovulate.  Good Luck!

OH.... DUH.... THANKS A BUNCH ;-))

You really can't make any assumptions until you've tracked your temps for a couple of months and see what pattern you have, if any.  Then you can make some better guesses about when you might be ovulating.  

So many things can affect temps, too.

From what I've read on the fertility monitors, they are the most accurate method (besides u/s) for detecting most fertile time. I'm getting one today. I get too many false pos w/OPKs.

You guys are great, so I will apologize to my monitor ;-))) and wait for the big O day ;-)
