i know i am not supposed to mention companies on here, so i wont, but there is a more detectable method that i have heard of out there that is done by a patch called duofertility. its like completely prelim state right now so you cant even get it yet, but check it out online and it gives good details of how it works and detects. and you wont miss the peak times because it reads it constantly. thats all i will say for now, but raed about it if you are interested in how they work.
