Fertility friend is acutally my fertility enemy!

Snowball · May 27th, 2008, 07:02 AM

Right it's driving me crazy. I decided to start charting so registered on fertility friend. They don't have an option for giving birth or stillbirth so I put that I had a miscarriage on the 09.04.08 with my first proper cycle happening 36 days later. Well now it's saying that I have 36 day cycles

I don't have 36 days cycles, I have 28 day cycles.

It also says that I ovulated and had a period all in the same day and that I'm in my fertile window now even though I'm not due to ovulate till next month (according to my new 36 day cycle).

It's driving me crazy!!!!

Did you try using mymonthlycycles? Both my old roomate and I used that to "avoid" ovulation, and we both got pregnant within 3 weeks of each other. So...you might want to try that!!! hah.

Nah, I did find it worked better than fertility friend though.

Hey hun, I wouldn't worry about it too much - once u've gone thru 1 whole cycle with FF it figures everything out. I think it takes a few cycles to really be in tune with what is happening with ur body. Just keep charting and using ur own body signals to pinpoint OV. U can also manipulate FF a bit by changing a few things to make it understand where in ur cycle u r.

Hiya Snowball! Are you on the trial version or did u pay for membership? I ask because if you paid then you can ask one of the guides to help you sort out what's gone wrong!

I've only got the trial version at the moment. I might pay for it if it's better that way?

I have swopped to MyMonthlyCycles as I find it easier to use, plus my VIP trial expired and without it FF was dull and not so great!

It takes a few cycles to get used to you and averages things out. Looking at mine - I had a MC and my cycle was longer than normal after that so my averages are off. You have to ignore certain bits. What i do like is that i can compare my charts from month to month and with other people's charts.
Good luck!

Well I like the extras you get with the VIP version - like being able to ask about your chart and being able to chart whatever signs and symptoms you like. It's quite reasonable if you buy a year's membership. You get quite a lot of free days with the trial version, so I would try out everything you can get your hands on - it tells you which bits you would lose if you don't buy the VIP membership, then you can make your mind up!
