Most of the time yes, it's right. Your basal body temp goes up in response to an increase in progesterone, so unless you are sick, then it's pretty accurate.

I've used the TCOYF software for about a year now and it's very accurate IF you are VERY accurate about taking your basal temperature at the same time every morning and making all the notes on the calendar, and if your cycles are pretty consistent. So many things can affect your basal temperature which is where the margin of error comes in (stress, sickness, etc.) My cycles are pretty inconsistent but I've found that as long as I track all my symptoms it's very helpful. I will say that it has helped me know my body much better and I understand what's going on with each phase of my cycles...good luck!

no.
Buy a backup source for ovulation prediction, like OPK's or a clearblue fertility monitor. Temping doesnt always tell an accurate story. You could take it at a different time, be a little bit under the weather, etc...

Of course not, there's likely a margin for user error.

No - only an ovulation test or a doctor can accurately predict this. My husby says this software is just another rhythm method...which usually equals, welcome to parenthood! (:
