Is it worth it to start temping now?

in Trying to Get Pregnant
This my first cycle off BC, and the first cycle off for me generally lasts about 47-49 days, but that is not always the case. I bought a bbt a few weeks ago as well as some OPKs but haven't been temping because I'm lazy.

I am now on day 48, and I don't think I'm getting my period tomorrow. HPT today was negative. By my calculations, this means there's no possible way I ovulated before day 33, and the OPKs I took until day 41 would suggest I did not ovulate then either. (Although I only tested every 24 hours, so I may have missed it).

I am so mad at myself for not temping, but is it worth it to start now? I hear that day 60 is magic number to call doctor, but what if I ovulate on day 61? I'd rather not artificially start my cycle over if ovulation is near. Would it make sense to temp starting at day 49 or should I just chalk this cycle up to a loss?

    I agree with the others. Start now to get in the habit.

    I was using temping and charting interchangeably.

    I guess what I'm getting at is, if I start temping and charting tomorrow at day 50, and ovulate at day 65, for example, will FF be able to confirm ovulation, or is the fact that I have 49 prior days of no data going to make charting this cycle invalid?

    I'm in a similar boat - CD42 and temping is the only thing I feel like I can do to help while I wait to start periods again. I am also up in arms about the progesterone challenge to get things restarted - I really don't want to give up time we could be trying but I also don't want to throw my body off even more.

    Yes if you start temping now and ovulate in 15 days ff will be able to catch it. I believe you need at least 6 temps and then 3 temps higher than the previous 6.


    Thank you! I started temping today and hope something happens soon.
