I have charted off and on for a couple years. This is the first time in months that I have charted though. We took a break from it for a while.

This time around I started charting before we were TTC just to see what my cycle was doing since I was still breastfeeding. I learned that I was going to have to stop in order to have a long enough LP for implantation. This is our second month of TTC. You can look at my chart at this link. I was in too much of a hurry this morning to chart before I left home though.

I started charting in September. Did a practice chart for a month (which turned out horribly. I was using the wrong kind of thermometer and temping after I had already been awake for like an hour... etc etc I didn't know what I was doing, lol)... but once I got the hang of it, I started seriously charting in October. Took us six cycles of charting before we conceived (we were trying before that though. We had been TTC since June).

I love love LOVE charting and it's one of the few things I'm going to miss now that I'm pregnant. I plan to use it again, as supplemental birth control (with a diaphragm) after this baby is born. I really really enjoyed it.

My charts were kind of wacky when I was breastfeeding too. I think your chart looks great! You definitely timed things well.

I like charting too. I go through spells with it though. I think for me it isn't so much the charting that frustrates me but the not getting pregnant. I kind of stopped for a while because I was getting more upset when I would look at my chart and see that we timed things well and I still didn't get pregnant. I felt better for some reason when I didn't know if I timed things well or not. That way I could at least think that the issue was timing.

This time I have been charting 3 cycles but when I was TTC Paige I charted about 11 cycles. This month is the first time since having Paige that I have taken all of my temps at the same time. I am hoping now that I am on Metformin I can get a better idea of when I o so that it will be easier to get my BFP.

I started charting back in September of 08. Then DH and I moved in January of 09. That threw my schedule off, and I didn't start getting back into the swing of charting until April of 09. My body was all jacked up back when I first started charting. I was having a lot of digestive problems, was overweight, etc... I had annovulatory cycles and a cycle with a 5 day LP! That lets you know how screwed up things were.

This past cycle was my first complete chart from Day 1, including CM/CP, the whole nine yards now that I'm healthier, back at my proper body weight etc. I'm really enjoying charting, although I'll be perfectly happy when I don't have to do it anymore, cuz that'll mean I've gotten my BFP!

I've been charting since October. This is our 10th month TTC our first. I've had a lot of pretty charts, but none have been BFPs. Hopefully one of these days will be our turn.
