Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and kinda confused about this charting thing. I was wondering if anyone could help me try an understand. I've been using the Fertility Friend site but i have not become a VIP. Does it matter if i don't? But i will attach my 3rd chart for you to see. We have been trying for now this will be the 3rd mth. And came off the pill Sept 28th. I've been doing the chart thing since October and i'm on my 3rd cycle. 1st was 27 day, 2nd was 44 days. I know since coming off the pill they maybe out of wack for a bit. But do they stay irregular or will they go to a set same day cycle each month?
I hope this all makes sense.

Thank you
Kimberley

Were you regular before going on the pill?
It can take a few months for your body to settle down after coming off the pill.

Are you taking your temp at the same time everyday before getting out of bed? Sleeping less? Your temps seem to jump around (some women's just do that). I'd think you may have O'ed, but you'll have to see what happens in the next few days.

As for your cycles being irregular, it can take months for them to go back to normal for you, and some people will always have irregular cycles. I've been one of the lucky ones....my cycles have averaged (only one my fourth though) 32 days, but my O date is moving by a day each cycle. Odd.

As for FF, I have just the basic as my VIP ran out. As I don't really need to see the extras, I am just using that one for now. If I do purchase a program, it will either be FF or Ovusoft (the advantage of Ovusoft is you only pay once and get the software, and my accountant's brain likes that). It all depends on whether you want the VIP features or not.

Not i wasn't regular before going on the pill but it's weird that 3 months before i fell pregnant with my son my period was regular. Yeah i've been told it might take a bit.
Thank you

I'm not really taking my temps at the same time but i do take them before i get out of bed. It depends what time my son wakes up. He'll all over the place with his sleeping. Sleeping less... YES! That another story.
Yeah i have a feeling i have already O'd. I had the little cramp thing. I just hope we got in on time, hehehe. But i'm really stressing about my son not sleeping so that probably won't be helping me.

Thank you

have u signed up for the charting course some forwarded it to me and it really helped me understand charting i have loads of info if u want it. xx

No i haven't. Thank you that would be great!

In order to get more accurate results from temping you need to temp at the same time every day (or close to the same time...if you look at my chart (under chart stalkers thread) you'll see that I don't always temp at the same time though it's close) after at least 3 hours sleep. It can be hard with a little one always waking you up though!

i also came of the pill in sept 07 and have had two cycles 1st was 45 days and 2nd was 56 days. i have also been chartng my temp and it varies from day to day so i dont know if i have ovulated or not. i had some blood tests done and they came back normal so your body will take abit of time to adjust to stopping the pill.
give it time it will happen
