Just completed my first month of tracking using the SymptoThermal Method! It's been eye-opening to see how my body changes throughout my cycle. I've noticed patterns I never paid attention to before. Anyone else have a similar experience when they first started?

Today I want to address a common question: "Can I rely solely on apps to predict my fertile window?"

The short answer is no. While apps can be helpful tools, they typically use algorithms based on the calendar method, which assumes a 28-day cycle and ovulation on day 14. However, cycle length and timing of ovulation can vary significantly between women and even between cycles for the same woman.

The SymptoThermal Method teaches you to observe and interpret your own fertility signs (cervical fluid, basal body temperature, etc.), which provides personalized information about YOUR body and YOUR cycle.

What has been your experience with fertility apps vs. tracking your own signs?

I'm struggling to interpret my temperature chart this month. I had what looked like a temperature shift, but then it dropped again after three days. Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any insight!
