BBT challenging: The use of basal body temperature is highly inaccurate and not typically recommended in someone using a home ovulation kit. If your ovulation kit indicated ovulation then measuring BBT is not going to be helpful. A day 21 Progesterone test can be done to confirm ovulation occurred if you have doubt.
