Which software/website do you like best for charting? Im not very happy with either of the ones Ive been using.

I have been using Fertility Friend for almost 6 years now. It works ok, but it lacks some features (well the free version does at least). I really would like it to do the O predictor. So that I can look from month to month and plan around my Ovulation and AF. I know I could pay for this but DH would call me obsessive if I paid for this stuff. It also seems to have issues determining ovulation a lot of the time. I had a fairly obvious O date this time and yet my FF chart didnt pick it up. Also, it doesnt adjust the temp if you took your temp at a different time.

I recently started using TCOYF online and it has those nice features i listed above and it caught my O this cycle right away when FF missed it. BUT...it drives me crazy entering things. If you enter something wrong trying to go back and fix it is a nightmare. It just doesnt save the updated info like it should. Most of the time it will just put "not recorded" in there or it will keep trying to adjust it over and over again. And it takes lots of loaded of the chart and calendar to get everything to update properly.

So, is there something better out there? I prefer a free service/download because, as I said, DH will not be happy if I pay for something like this as he thinks its obsessive *eyeroll*. But, if its cheap enough I will just use my paypal money to order it and he'll never know LOL

Cycle Pro is also really good, fairly comparable to Ovusoft. But it's a software you have to buy. That and Ovusoft are really about the best for sympto thermal method charting.

We use nfpcharting.com, but that's only compatible with either the Billings Ovulation Method of charting or the Creighton Model system of charting.

The software version of TCOYF is so much better. You have to pay for it, but you have it forever, unlike FF. Plus I never have problems with it saving my information or anything like the online version they are still developing.

I agree that ovusoft does better at predicting your o date than FF. I like FF just as well though. I just override my chart when they get it wrong.
