 The basal body temp thing works by taking your temp first thing in the morning before you move or drink or eat or get up or anything. It's helpful to get an idea of if and when you are ovulating, it seems to have helped some who don't have fertility issues to get the timing right. You might want to visit an inferiltiy website for the specifics or maybe someone else will remember. I remember I had to have my husband help me there, because I couldn't remember to do the temping before getting up to take care of morning "functions".

It's not very reliable. Seven months may seem a long time trying, but it doesn't qualify as infertile, and fortunately for you, it's probably not due to an issue. It's just a matter of lining up the time. Maybe you can see your doctor and have them do some blood testing to try to help verify ovulation to ease your mind if you think that you're getting frustrated. You might try an ovulation predictor. They make the kits that come with several disposable ones. They also have the more expensive reuseable models that I've seen people have good results with. That would be an investment worth while.

I know it's frustrating and difficult to go through the process. I'm not going to tell you to relax and it will just come, cause that's just insulting. But, I will say good luck, and I hope you and your husband can welcome the newest member of your family soon.
