I JUST started charting today. My temp was 97.09.....So my question is do you round the number up? It would be 97.1 then right? Thanks and sorry this is a silly question!

There are no such things as silly questions! I am still fairly new to charting myself, but from what I understand you don't want to round your temps up- just record them as they are, with both places after the decimal. BBT thermometers purposefully measure your temp that accurately because BBT can vary only a few 10ths of a degree from day to day.

Hope that helps!

THANKS ladies! I guess it just threw me off because the chart isn't to the tenth degree. LoL. I think I will write them manually. Does anyone know what I mean though about the chart just showing temps :96.9,97.0,97.1 etc.

Yeah I know what you mean! The chart I printed off is like that too...have you ever been on the Fertility Friend website? It lets you enter the more specific temps and also keeps a lot of other info for you. It's free too, unless you want to pay for the extra features of the VIP membership.

Ivillage has a very good free program too. It's based off Ovusoft, and for me was more accurate than FF.
