At-Home Fertility Tools

Pros:

• This is a great way to get in tune with your body and cycles.
• This type of testing can be used in concert with cervical mucus and menstruation charting for a more detailed holistic understanding of your fertility.

• This is relatively labor intensive.
• The margin for error is quite large; small changes may influence your temperature, such as stress, jet lag, or the use of an electric blanket, so this is far from an exact science.
• Your temperature doesn't rise until right after ovulation, leaving you a smaller window to try to conceive.
