I have charted for years, but I can't seem to get back into the swing of it. I can't seem to remember before I start to get Dh up. Does anyone have any tip to help me remember?

The little course at Ovulation Calendar and Ovulation Chart - Fertility Charting is really helpful

Welcome to the board Donna. I'm sorry you have to be joining us but I hope you find us very helpful. I quit charting because it was driving me bonkers. But the link Erin posted was very helpful to me.

I set the alarm on my cell phone and sleep w/it under my pillow. I set it for about 20 minutes before I and/or everyone gets up in the morning.

I've been sleeping with the phone under my pillow for years now and it just blended in well with the whole charting thing. The alarm only wakes me up and not the whole house. Plus, it's usually dark when I get up for the day, so I can check the temp by the light of my phone Good luck!
