At the top there is a menu called "Sharing". Then click on Setup, and at the top of the page you'll see a link in a box, it should look like this: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/e3c27 (with a different code at the end).

Copy that and paste it into your signature.

To create your signature on BnB, go to Settings & Options then click on edit signature.

I hope that helps!

Yep, its free, at least parts of it are. There are parts you will have to sign up for to use, but the basics, which include charting your temps, and sharing are free.

I figured I should get my FF chart up there too.. So I'm curious, why are my temps so low? Since I started temping this month, my temps are in the 96.6-97 degree range. Is this normal? Seems really low. This morning I was 96.17! The funny thing was that I felt warm, and comfortable. I was wrapped up in bed, and not cold at all. You'd think that if I was that cool I would want an extra blanket or something! Well not here in HOT sunny Florida, but how can I be that temp in the morning? Confused I am!

Ali...that is exactly why I don't want to do my temps. It will be just another thing for me to obsess over!! I start back with the CBE OPK tomorrow...but haven't made a final decision on the temps...

I hope all you ladies are feeling well today!

I've never temped before so I really don't know what I'm doing. I'm just writing my temps down each morning, hopefully it will all be more clear in another week or so! I started doing the CBE OPK this morning, but it was negative. Last month I didn't ovulate until CD 17, and had positive OPK's on CD 15 and CD 16, so today CD 8 is a little early, but using the clomid, I didn't want to risk it happening earlier than normal!

Got a call from the Dr's office saying that all but one of the lab tests are back, and the nurse said that everything looked pretty good (she didn't say awesome), but pretty good is good to me! The only test we are waiting on is the big one, the AMH. The one that tests ovarian reserve. Apparently that test takes a week to come back. Hopefully we'll have that on Monday! Plus I'll have a better understanding of what 'pretty good' means.

As for temping, I know it is hard not to obsess over it, but at the same time, its probably more helpful in the long run to have the data. Especially in the future if/when you do decide to get more testing done with a FS. Then having your charts will be helpful! In the end its up to you, whether you want to keep charting or not!

Good morning, Ladies!
GreyEyes, Alicat, Marathongirl, how are you doing?? Georgiabelle, haven't heard from you in a bit?

I hope this finds everyone well.... it's a little overcast here today but not chilly- yay!

AFM- doing well, sleeping better! and I have a theory which I will be putting to the test soonish....
The thing I couldn't figure out and my doctor said was different, was that when I had the bad morning sickness it was always 'after' I ate.... most ladies feel it if they haven't eaten in a while, whereas I felt better with nothing in my stomach... I've been eating way more fruits and veggies the last while.... and.... less wheat products.... then had a cereal I like yesterday and wham! feel crappy again... so I'm wondering if my body has just decided it doesn't want wheat right now?? if I avoid it I seem to be better...
I'm doing a little research into what I can substitute with so I don't feel deprived.... but then will go for a month or so wheat free and see how I feel!
Grey Eyes, looking forward to hearing about your scan!
Sending good thoughts your way, ladies,
take care....

Hi Phil! Could be a gluten issue as well...perhaps a mild allergy. Does it happen when you eat pasta? I am not PG yet, but I have a sensitivity to gluten. It doesn't make me ill but it does cause my joints to swell a bit.

But the good thing is that you are figuring out what keeps you from feeling bad. Oh how I wish for a little MS right now!! LoL! I'm sure I would change my mind if I actually had it!

WOW.. I agree with Jess! Yes, it could be a gluten thing. I found I felt a whole lot better eating a non-wheat diet. I was following the "paleo" diet and it is awesome for me. Basically your grains are cut out, and you get your carbs from sweet potatoes, and other vegetables. You can also eat fruit, legumes, and lean proteins. I would talk to your Dr about whether that would be an appropriate diet to try. I'm going to see whether I can continue on it if/when I get pregnant!

Ali! Take that "if" out of there! It is absolutely "WHEN" you get pregnant!!

Hi Ali! Silly girl that is what your basal body temperatures are supposed to look like Not laughing at you just laughing because I did the same thing when I started! Lol...see, when you rest your temp naturally goes down. Usually in the 96-97 range. You are supposed to be careful not to get up or anything when you temp as our bodies are very sensative and you will immediatly get a spikein temp Anyway, you will notice a pattern, for instance - 97.1, 97.2, 97.0, 97.2, - then when you ovulate you may see a 96.9 or something to indicate a brief drop in temp. Then after ovulation temp goes uuuppp- say, 97.6, 97.7, etc. And when your eggy implants you notice your temp will spike further at basal body level to something like 97.9- 98.1 etc. Crazy huh? But I have to tell you, when I started bbt'ing (basal body temping) I learned soooo much about how my body operates, I am so happy that I did this. Our temps give us for sure clues as to what's happening with our hormones. Pretty cool So far your temps look perfect In fact- I'd be using those opk's as I notice a temp dip today down to 96.2--possible Ov? Maybe tell your doc and have it checked?? I'm not sure...there are very ocassional fluke temps too (sorry, lol)

THANKS!!! Yes I know I'm a newbie at testing, I guess I was just shocked to see my morning temps so low! As for the temp dip this morning, yes I was surprised about that too. I did an OPK this morning, but it was negative. I don't think it is my LH surge as it is pretty early in my cycle (CD8) and I usually don't O until closer to CD 15-17. Then again I am on clomid, so who knows what is going on down there?
