Poppy, to get a more accurate reading you should really start charting at the begining of the month, But since your so excited then go for it, lol.

My Oh has got used to me waking up at 6am rolling over and taking my temp. I have even shown him how to read my chart and what to look for ( the dip), he is interested in it all and will do what ever works best for me.

Good luck Poppy and Vickie I hope you get your BFP soon

Thanks bek Good luck to you too!!

bless you! Did he manage to remember when he woke up again lol

Good luck charting Poppy

PMSL I tried charting....hubby thought you had to shove the thermometor up r minge!

Erm you can do it that way - I believe its more accurate as well lol!

Hi

I'm charting BBT as well. I have to say I really like it coz it backs up what my OPK says. My OPK said I ov'd on day 16 and my temps dipped and then went back up. I'm using fertilityfriend.com to analyse my charts coz I don't think I would have been able to do it by myself, I found it hard at first to read the patterns but I'm getting into it now.

It's also useful as a kind of diary of symptoms as well coz you can chart those as well and that means I can compare months.

This is only my second cycle doing it though.

Anyway, good luck with yours

Good luck with your psychology course btw x

Ive been a regular charter for 20ish months now with some breaks here and there.
I also do it along with opks and i find it very helpful to know whats going on with my cycle, even if its just for info to go to the doctors with.

I think starting mid cycle is actually better, when you first start out its hard to remember taking your temp and you end up missing a few. by the time you get to the sart of the next cycle youll be in a routine of doing it.

Hi gals!

Took my BBT this morning and it had gone up quite a lot from the day before. However, I have not ovulated yet (too ovulation test as well). I did have a disturbed sleep (nervous about exam), so I take it that is what caused the temperature rise (the booklet said that is quite common).

Got quite a lot of egg whitey CM this morning when I first went to the toilet (TMI - sorry!) but then nothing then next two times I went. I shouldn't be ovulating till about Wednesday - hmmm. I do start to get CM from about four days before usually (but not quite as much or egg whitey).

Could be a good sign your in your fertile days (CM) ... Ovulation shows for one day your fertile for more than one day

OMG! lol
