I would recoment the whole bbt thing, and the taking charge of your own fertility book. It helps you work out if you are ovulating, and if your temperatures show any regular patterns.

For me, I worked out that 10 days or so after my temps rose above 98 degrees F, I should get my period, and the day they dip below 98F again, it should arrive. It saved me a fortune every month on pregnancy tester kits. And the cycle when I acutally bought the book, I managed to fall pregnant (only took 5 years...) and realised this within a day or so of my period being due.

If nothing else, this method enables you to work out if you may be ovulating, to keep track of various symptoms every cycle and see if there is any regularity with them. If you are worried about not waking up at the same time every day, there is software availiable which will adjust your readings, availiable for a fee at http://www.ovusoft.com/ which comes with a 15 day free trial and will work out any possible ovulation dates for you (if like me you can't be bothered to graph your own temps). Oh and the satisfaction of handing your cycle chart to a nurse or doctor who doesn't understand what it means is wonderful...
