Need advice , Tips! For temping and increasing sperm

[WhereisBabyL]

Hello there! I'm back again TTC- month 4 for husband and I and AF is a real witch for showing up bc I thought I was pregnant. I need some advice! We are trying new things each cycle and want some feedback on temping. I just bought a BBT and gonna use it. How exactly does this work???

I also bought a fertility book- "taking control of your fertility" I thought why the heck not?! Haha

Also using preseed.. Opks. Red raspberry tea.
And getting hubby to up his vitamin c and zinc for swimmer.

ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED

Well it sounds like you're doing A LOT! Way to take charge!

With temping, you can either take vaginal or oral temps. Vaginal is said to be more accurate due to less fluctuations but, whichever you pick, stay with it the entire cycle so you're consistent. I do oral temps because it's easier for me. You'll want to take your temp the same time each morning, before rising, before turning on lights, eating, drinking, doing anything. It's ideal if you get at least 3 hours or so of consistent sleep before you temp. A lot of people set an alarm to get up and temp, and go back to sleep. If anything fluctuates, just note it on your chart. Chances are you won't be perfect every day, just keep at it! Hope this helps!
