Welcome to butterflydebs and mommapick!!!!!
Charting seems complex at first but actually isnt too bad once you get used to it. Fertility Friend is a really good tool to use (even though I hate it this month lol!) and helps you to get to know your own fertility signs quite quickly.
The three things most people tend to do are:
Charting Basal Body Temp (In the UK, buy the fertility thermometer from boots as it has 3 decimal places not 2): take it after a minimum of 3 hours unbroken sleep and straight away as soon as you move. Keep your thermometer by your bedside table and take it straight away, even if you are busting for a wee (thats normally me in the morning!). Fertility Friend has a mobile application so I update my temp on it straight away. Try to take it at the same time every morning. Charting BBT is very useful but doesnt help you to preempt ovulation as you only see a temp rise after you ovulate.
Checking cervical mucus (CM) : CM is very important in helping Mr Sperm along. 'Fertile' CM is either watery or of an eggwhite consistency and happens only around your fertile window as your body gears up for ovulation.
Using OPK (Ovulation Predictor Kits): Supermarkets sell these and you can get cheap ones online (ebay or amazon). These detect a hormone called Luteinizing Hormone (LH) which peaks 12-36 hours before you ovulate, so getting a positive one of this helps you to know when to 'baby dance' (BD).

Thanks everyone for your replies, I really have no idea when i should test as I havent had any af for so long cant remember what my cycle was like! Since removal have only had a tiny bit of spotting just after 26/08/10 then on the 07/09/10 feel like I could be pregnant because I feel differant and boobs seem to have grown plus have mouth ulcers(which I never get!), but then think maybe I am going nuts and its my brain playing tricks on me as I want to be pregnant. Its so hard to concentrate on other things but is it to early to test and I know if I do and its negative will be so upset.
Plus the sensible side of my brain says its only been 4 weeks get a grip help lol
Ps how do you reply to a message someone has sent just you ? xx
