Don't have a chart - you help?

[Marshmellow]

Hello all,
I don't have a chat - I tried to log onto Fertility Friend - they declined something about too many members.

I feel like an idiot cause I can't even create a chart.

Any help to get me focused and on track would be AWESOME. Ta

Hmm thats interesting. I would write down my temp, CM (cervical mucous), and CP (cervical position) each day til I found an alternative site. I know there is a few. Good luck! (or try just doing it in excel, they said three temps higher than the previous six with one exception to the rule is a good way to see if ovulation has occured).

This site has charts you can download and fill in. Ovulation Calculator: Fertility Charting i used to do it manually Good luck!

I would try FF again but try a different username to create an account - there's still links on my data page of FF (where I start to put in data) to invite a friend. Maybe it didn't like you. Email ( email address ) and I'll send you an invite. (put Fertility Friend in the subject line)

Until you sort one out, record your temp and what time you take it and then put it in later. I tried the TCOYF Temperature Charting Software (available at lullaby conceptions web address) but found it harder to use/understand than FF.

Good luck

Thanks ladies, I finally got on - I am now a stalker I won't go into how I did it but it's done.
Now that I'm on - wow! I have no idea to tell where my cervics is - I assume "down there" doesn't do? I have those urine test things but I tried to different types and they gave me two different results - nice.

Anyway - THANKS!

Hi marshmellow,

Glad to see you got there. When I chart, I only do temps (oral and not down there- don't like the idea of temping down there in my period) and cervical fluid - but only what appears easily ie on my knickers or at a quick finger swipe in there (not a big sweep, just a little way in there IYKWIM). I don't check my cervix position - a bit too much for me. Have been thinking about the OPKs (ovulation prediction kits) or the urine test things as you call them but haven't done them up til now.

Cute ticker. All you need now is to have your FF web/home page linked in your sig so if you want advice from others they can just click on the link in your sig. If you want this go to your FF my 'account summary' link then click your 'Home Page Set Up' link there should be a web address right at the top, copy and paste that into your sig. Other option is to have your ticker from FF linked - go to the 'account summary' page as above then click on the 'tickers setup' link and copy and paste the address for the link that's under 'Your charting ticker' and your ticker will link to FF for others (if you want us to help out with qs re your chart.)

Best of luck ttc,
