Am i charting wrong??

OK, I have started charting for 11 days. At 6:30 am my husband gets up with his alarm for work and stick the thermometer in my hand, and then I conk out back to sleep, LOL. It memorizes it and I mark it down later.

Everyday, except the one day we forgot and I didnt temp until 8:30 after I had already gotten up, my temperature is the exact same. 96.9, or 96.89 or 96.91. I see everyone elses chart and everyone elses fluctuates up and down. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong.

Also while I have everyone attention, how do you girls get your charts online to show them to each other. What are the best websites?

Any other tips for a newbie charter would be great as well.

You aren't necessarily doing anything wrong. Some people just have very stable temps! But you might want to make sure your thermometer batteries aren't dying.

As for charting online, I think most of us here use fertilityfriend.com. It's easy once you get the hang of it! Once you're signed up and have got a chart going, look at the menus on the left side of your screen.. go to Sharing and then Home Page Set Up and it will give you the URL that you can post here.

Nope, you are not doing anything wrong. Most of us use fertilityfriend.com to share our temps, it's one of the easiest.

I agree with the PP's - you probably have very stable temps - when I charted with my son my temps were also very stable and didnt fluctuate more than a couple tenths of a degree is that.... I also use fertilityfriend - its awesome!

GOODLUCK!

I clicked on your ticker and it only shows the ticker, not your actual chart. I've seen that happen before, but I can't remember how to fix it. I wanted to add that having stable temps is not necessarily a bad thing. Here is a link to my last chart http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/chart_m...hp?d=2007-10-25. Ignore how long it is; even if you look at the first 28 days, they're all over the place you do NOT want your chart to look like that. It doesn't sound like you have too much to worry about, but the girls around here are always super helpful with charting! Good luck!

eta: i messed up the link.

Yeah I am trying to figure out how to make the ticker go to my chart, anyone else more familiar with the site?
