Well,im spotting so sheŽll be here in full force by tommorow,so now I can start my charting Iv had two 50 day cycles now,so I know that Im regular..Im just frustrated that I have to wait SO long from one cycle to the next..but thats a good sign right,because if I wasnt ovulating at all,my cycles wouldent be spot on 50 days would they? Theyd be more messed up/unpredictable?
Anyway,Im all ready to start charting in the morning and although Iv read fertility friend and signed up,I dont understand it or its charts AT ALL..its like reading in chinese!
Is there anywhere else where I can get an online chart thats not so complicated? One where I just have to type in my temps and thats it? Also,we use celsius/centigrade here,and thats whats on my thermometer so how do I get those to work on an american chart? (because you dont use centigrades there do you? You have fahrenheit right?).
Its all so confusing!! But IŽll get there!! lol.

Congrats on the witch making her appearance! I have always used FF (Fertility Friend) but I tried to use another online site called www.fertilitycircle.com. Personally, I didn't like it. I found FF more user friendly. You can change the settings to celsius, what I would recommend you to do is play with the setting for a bit. Its really easy to use (FF). When you log in and you are looking at the chart screen, you will see on the left hand side where it says menu, as you scroll through each item, it give you a list of different categories that you can go into to make your changes. As far as knowing that you are O'ing, there is really only one way that you can know for sure and that is to chart. My advice to you is chart but also use opks to help better pinpoint your O day. Always check to see what type of cm you have and always make a note of it (the most fertile you see for the day). Try not to disgard temps and try to temp consistently at the same time. I had two spare thermo's also just in case one broke. I think what worked for me this cycle was prenatal vitamins/supplements, DH was taking multivitamins, hardly no alcohol, virtually no caffeine, drinking lots of green tea before O, using opks, and drinking plenty of water. Oh, of course charting/temping. Gosh, sorry so long, I wrote a book! Good luck to you! May you be blessed with a bfp very soon! (((((((Baby Vibes)))))))

Gee.. after reading your post, I was gonna give you some tips on FF, but I think Mari Posa summed it up pretty well! Fertility friend really isn't that difficult, thought it can look intimidating at first. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly! Good luck TTC!

Gina,

I tried the www.babymed.com chart and it was too hard for me to figure out. I like FF MUCH BETTER!!!! You get it down and it is also fun to chart (at least it is for me!!) Good luck, I'll be stalking you

Aww.. that's so unfair of her to fool with you like that.. acting like she's gonna show up and then not coming. I hope she shows up soon for you! Waiting (whether it's W2O, 2WW, or anything else with this whole TTC stuff) Really Sucks!

Im sorry, I know how frustrating cycle like this can be.

Have you talked to your doc about getting on something to bring on AF?? or thought about progesterone cream to bring it on??
