Chart Stalker Thread ~ Add Your Chart & Chat

[emerphire]

hi everyone, I have some newbie charting questions I caved and decided to go the "au plan-urale" route than the "au naturale" when TTC. hehe...

1) is there a baseline temp when doing morning readings? monday's reading was 96.57 (but I didn't have 3 hours sleep).

2) I started my FF chart, so was wondering why would someone want to see it or be a chart stalker? haha, I guess I'm wondering since I still don't understand how to read it myself.

3) if I'm a little early or a little late in taking temp, is that ok? is there a window? I know, closest is best, but I usually don't wake up @ the same time everyday. I'm trying to shoot for 7am.

thanks everyone in advance!

welcome to the chart stalkers thread emerphire.

The baseline depends on your own body, youll need to have one cycles chart to determine what your average baseline will be.
Each cycle FF will work one out for you.

Sometimes people get a bit confused with their charts or they want to ask others opinions on them, other girls will *stalk* your chart to answer any questions you have or just even to see how youre getting on.

Strict charters would say yes it does matter if you wake up early or later. My own opinion is no its doesnt, as long as you get at least 3 hours sleep, i think your basal temp will still be the same.
If you can get the same time every day then all the better

Good luck!

this is my chart my last couple of cycles have been 32 days ive had negatives on opks no positives! do u think ive ovulated? i sleep with an electric blanket so i dont know if this could effect the results!

It very likely could affect your temps, the blanket will make your body warmer and make your basal temp be higher.

i was thinking that but i alwayd have the blanket on a low temp because its freezing but its always at the saem temperature so hopefull the rise in my chart means i di ovulate. Ive had af style cramps today and yesterday hopefully its a sign of implantation as i dont tend to get cramps at this time in my cycle but i will try and not get my hopes up!

Wow girls, I'm glad you said it's easy when you start charting yourself.

I think you should qualify for an NVQ after this!

[Arcanegirl]

It is easy when you get it. I put off trying it for a long time thinking it was difficult but its far from it!

Hi ladies can I join you please? I am a bit of a chart stalker so I guess this forum is perfect for me - lol.

Here is my chart, according to my BBT (I have charted for 3 months) I usually ovulate on CD 21/22 of a 36 day cycle but OPK says different!
