Hey I'm Mini!

Ok so I juse mycycle.com for my charts, mainly to just track my periods. It gives you your predicted ovulation date depending on your luteal phase and your next predicted period...

I've heard a lot about fertility friend, but not sure if I want to spend the money to get my days of O you know?

The easiest thing for me is to check CM and CP I suppose. I work overnights so I dont get up the same time every day and I know that affects your temps...

Any other suggestions?

Hi Mini, !!! Glad to have you here!

Have you thought about using OPKs to help pinpoint ovulation? FF does have free accounts...but you don't get as many options with the free account as you would with a pro account.

Anyway, glad you're here, hope you stick around long enough for us to get to know you!

Good luck!

I've thought about it, but frankly the confuse me so bad. Do you pee on one every day? Or just when you think you are close to ovulating? My thing is my cycle length changes but seems to average at 31 days.. And I have no idea how long my LP is.. I know I suck at life!!

Its just all so confusing...

I would temp cuz its easy, but like i said I'm not up at the same time everday, and I seem to run a higher temperature due to medication I am currently on, and I'm afraid that would mess with it as well!

I'll have to research into these OPKs!

Welcome to the charting board!!!

I agree on the opks. They take some time to figure out but they definitely help me to know when I ovulate. I think charting would be ideal. I think you could give it a shot and see if you can see a pattern. I don't know what medication you are taking or how it would affect your chart but if you charted a cycle you would have something to look at and know if it is affecting your chart or not. I like having my chart so I can look back and see if I timed things well.

Even if you don't chart your temps you can start recording all your fertile signs.
