I have never heard of it before but am just reading a study on it suggesting women dont always ovulate mid cycle because of the
phase of the moon since birth. Has anyone looked in to this method with ttc?
WOMAN IS FERTILE DURING A CERTAIN PHASE OF THE MOON
He eventually discovered on which phase of the moon a woman may be fertile:
THE TIME OF A WOMAN’S FERTILITY DEPENDS ON THE RECURRENCE OF THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE SUN AND THE MOON THAT OCCURRED AT THE WOMAN’S BIRTH
It became apparent that the lunar cycle is the blue print for the hormonal cycle – women who are reproductively and generally healthy, whose cycle is average and regular and who are not altering their cycle adversely through stress, travel or drugs – are statistically more likely to have their mid-cycle ovulation at their lunar peak than at any another time.
For many women their mid-cycle ovulation is not synchronised with their lunar cycle, nevertheless, they may spontaneously ovulate when the sun-moon angle is the same as at their birth, no matter where they are in their hormonal cycle.
THE NORMAL SUCCESS RATE OF THE RHYTHM METHOD (BETWEEN 30 AND 85 PERCENT) JUMPED TO APPROXIMATELY 98 PERCENT WHEN COMBINED WITH ABSTINENCE AT LUNAR FERTILE TIMES
It is quite interesting there has been heaps of studies done on it.

It would be interesting to test this against the OPK.

I checked mine out for this month and it says 21 Oct and if I counted 14 days it would be the 22.
