Charting group! - Page 2

Tomorrow morning: take temp, then HPT. Will repeat daily until BFP or new cycle starts. This is where my science hurts/ helps me... if we did it this cycle, statistically it's most likely I'd get a positive on 05-06 Jan based on average implantation times. So I know I'm almost wasting my time testing now, maybe I'm just an adrenaline junkie, like those 5 minutes a day where it *might* come out positive that time

I do have two FRERs, if I get a positive on a Wondfo IC on day. Don't want to "waste" a test that costs 20 times as much - even if it's only about 6.00 U.S.

Hello. I'm joining here but haven't ever tried charting. I'm currently on CD16 and my next cycle is due to start on the 18th January. So will be charting that cycle. Can anyone recommend where to buy a good themometor to chart with from? And is FF the best site to use to chart my temps on? X

I got mine from Target, not sure if it's the best on the market - but it was less than $10.00 U.S. and works well enough that I can tell the difference between the follicular phase, ovulation, and the luteal phase of my cycle, which is really all it needs to do!

I've been using both Fertility Friend and www.countdowntopregnancy.com - they both work, seems the latter is a bit more conservative than FF in terms of estimating ovulation and such. I like the ability to search charts in FF, may be signing up for VIP membership if this cycle doesn't work out for me.

Fertility friend has a deal on its Facebook page right now. 1 year VIP membership for $25. You have to click "promos" on their Facebook page to find the link. http://www.facebook.com/FertilityFriend

ETA: you have to be viewing the desktop version of Facebook to see the promos icon (looks like a gift).

Thanks for the heads-up about the VIP discount... only not awesome for those of us with a "clandestine" ttc operation... have to "like" their page to get the promo, thereby telling our friends and families (and my boss) what we're doing. Not happening. Would rather pay the 20.00 than "announce" our efforts!

And now LOLing. Was going to say something about I may as well just post the link to my chart on my Facebook page... and then thinking about my poor mom counting the BD... oh, my!

Yeah I had the same issue with having to like the page. It's super annoying that they do it that way. I liked the page really quick, grabbed the discount, deleted the info from my timeline and then unliked it. Hopefully fast enough that none of my Facebook friends saw it!

Thanks. I'm going to take a look on amazon for one xx

I thought about trying that, but my boss was on Facebook at the time! LOL. Maybe I'll try it if I get up in the middle of the night! The things we do while ttc!!!
