    A combination of the two usually is most affective. Temping can tell you when you have already O'd but without doing it several months, you may not see the pattern at first to tell you you are about to O. With OPK's it will tell you when you are about to O, with in a couple of days, to help time sex. Neither are without human (or sometimes hormonal) error. So using both will help you time sex and confirm ovulation.

    I would definitely use both together. I used BBT and the CBEFM together to conceive Maya.
