So I'm signed up on Fertility friend and I'm probably going to go ahead and get the VIP, but I'll be honest.. 30 pages of information through fertility friend is SO not calling my name.. lol anyone know of a good link where I can find out the basics of charting without it being 30 pages long?

Also..

how in depth do you ladies chart? do you chart literally every little thing you can fill in.. or is all of it not really necessary you think?

I just took my temps, checked cm and cervical position. I also wrote down anything i felt was different in my own little diary. I took vitamin b6, zinc and drank 2-3 cups of peppermint tea. (b6 and pepp tea to lengthen luteal phase) zinc for egg quality. The sticky at the top of the board can help answer some everyday questions too.

Oh the sticky i mentioned seems to have disappeared!!! It all seems really complicated to begin with but it isnt as hard as it looks. Any question we can try to answer.

to Fertility Charting!!!

You can certainly pop into the Fertility Charting School folder, there are topics that go over most of the basics.

I'd also recommend picking up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It does a great job of explaining how to chart as well as tons of example charts showing all sorts of patterns. Really helpful!

I hope you get your BFP very soon and don't have to chart for very long!! Best of Luck & Baby

Hi and Welcome to Charting. On a side note real fast i have to tell you that your siggies are AMAZING!!!!
uhum onto the question at hand... I didnt read much at all about charting. I came over here, said hi and temped every morning at the same time. I filled that in and then when i got the hang of it, i started throwing in the OPKs and the Cervical Position and all that. It seems daunting, but its really not. Just ease your way into it
Also if you have any other questions or anything, the girls here are cool, post as many questions that you need answered.
