WTTers chart Newbies/stalkers!!!

[moochacha]

Hi ladies,

Looking for ladies who chart or would like to start charting to join us here. You can start charting via this website Fertility Friend, its a really nifty website with all the information you will need to start charting.

So is there any WTTers chart newbies/stalkers who want to stalk charts with me?

Ok since we have a few girls on the thread now I've decided to make it easier to stalk charts and add them here:

Sorry hun I'm not charting but didn't want to read and run

I did some charting but unfortunately my cycles are all over the place so I gave up I threw my kit out my window in a fit of rage

Once things start up I may give it another try and buy another kit! But to be honest I drove me a little insane

Charting has become such a daily routine for me I took up charting because I was confused about my changing cycles and I needed to make sense of it.

I totally got peace of mind and reassurance that my body is working, I'm ovulating, I have a normal LP. 5 years of studying nursing/masters in nursing and I learn more about my cycle from one month of charting than the whole time studying!!!

I know what you mean though I totally wanted to give up the first month!


Thanks for the reply

I'm probably going off of birth control after this pack of birth control (only three more days) and am going to start charting then. I don't know when we're going to TTC, probably in a year or so, and I want to get my cycles back in order and know what's going on with by body. Plus, I think it will be kind of cool to see how it gets back in order after the birth control.

Hey! I am also in nursing so I tried to chart but found it really difficult working two day shifts two night shifts and then five days off. So I am still charting for AF and CM but not temps

@ aidensxmomma welcome to charting, I found that charting was the best way to understand my cycles and to make sure that everything was working!!! Look forward to stalking your chart when you start!!!

@ L005 - I know what you mean about night shifts, luckily I'm on early starts from now on which is good for me. Fertility Friend gives advice on how to chart for shift workers, I actually just kept my time the same and just made sure I was taking my temp after 3 hours solid sleep. But yeah shift work does mess with your BBT!!! Which site are you using for charting?

Im charting but i have only been doing so for the last 3 days, and also didn't start on CD1, im so awkward

Hehe its all good I started my first cycle on CD 28 I figured it was good to get some practice.

Still - look forward to stalking your chart!!! When are you planning to TTC?

 

[moochacha]

Your TTC now my bad!!

 

[moochacha]

Anymore charters out there?

 

[aidensxmomma]

What kind of thermometer do you need to do the temping?

 

[DJ987]

I think I'm going to start soon, I'm waiting until 2011 to TTC but have now come off BC am on cd26 waiting for my first AF! I'll probably start in a couple of months. My cycles were 29 days before BC so be interesting to see how long it takes to go back to that! Took ages last time! x

hi there i've been charting (although not tempting) for the last 8months, it's really helped me understand my cycles better, and i've starting to see when i've ov'
i'm really hoping it'll make heading over to ttc a little easier, as i was charting when we were ttc our daughter
oh and i too use fertility friend

 

[Damita]

I am a charter :wave: with FF, gotta get my link Been doing it for 28 days now.

 

[MissWaiting]

iam jsut getting to grips with my cycle and counting how long it is but as soon as i know iam getting charting and would love to be a chart stalker with you haha oh yes but iam very confused on all this stuff so shall prob see some random questions from myself

 

[Livia]

I'm also WTT and charting, just to see what in the world my body is doing after a miscarriage in early december...

My chart is at:
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2cf2cd

The first one came up surprisingly well, considering I'm just using a thermometer we had around and slept badly many nights. The second (and current) one is looking a bit more iffy so far but I may have just ovulated so I guess I'll just have to see. My concerns are dull aches for days on end midcycle and a shorter AF than I remember.

I still have some problems reading the charts, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, if any.

Cheers!!

I was thinking about starting charting but it confuses me so much! I wonder though if it is a good idea to get ahead with it so that I know my cycle really well by the time I TTC.

What do you guys think? Is charting ahead a good idea? Or will it just increase my TTC obsession and make me frustrated that I can't?

This is mine, lost loads of temps as I have not been sleeping for longer than 4 hours on those nights and read in my book it didn't count

What kind of thermometer do you need to do the temping?

You need a BBT thermometer they're very cheap around the $5 -$15 mark. You should look for a digital thermometer with 2 decimal places.

@everyone else. Sorry I haven't replied I have a nasty flu my 8 year old gave me. It's my fault really I can't stop kissing and cuddling him especially when his sick.

Baronessgogo - You should totally head over to the TTC section the ladies there are heaps nice!!! Good luck for you next cycle if keep up the charting you should join this thread https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-to-conceive/228332-new-charting-join-other-newbies-here.html the girls are sooooo supportive and helpful.

princess-bump - When are you planning to TTC??? You're like a charting pro hehe I started charting because my cycles went from 28 days to 30-32 days and started to panic. It's helped me understand my body more.

MissWaiting - Yay for another chart stalker!! Looking forward to seeing your chart

Livia - Sorry for your loss I had a MC earlier this month. It looks like your gearing up to ovulate today. A few days of some temp raises and you should see some cross-hairs on your chart!!

Tabby - I think its a great idea to start before TTC so you understand your cycles better and make your stay in the TTC section much shorter

It's been a great learning curve for me plus its really easy.
