I read a lot of teh charting questions and answers on Fertility Friend (it's free to join) and found them useful for understanding my cycle. I had not a clue before I started charting!

weimy · 28/02/2011 19:18

sorry lots of crossposting there!!!

weimy · 28/02/2011 19:17

changing lol don't appologise! :)

It can be but you can use your temperature and opks as a guideline to narrow it down further than that next month and start charting on fertility friend if you don't get a bfp this month, as dpo is refering to the actual day not fertile period. There are others on the thread who know how to explain things much better :)

Sorry! I didnt know! On Ovulation Calculator it gives you the most fertile days so I thought it could be any one of these. I dont know when I ovulated! I could have been from 14th to 18th according to my dates.

weimy · 28/02/2011 19:02

twizzle I think it still looks ok :)

Changing I thought there was only one day of ov Hmm

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 19:01

oooh a daffodil weimy how nice! Grin

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 19:00

Hi changing and twizzle

Changing You only have one actual ovulation day - are you meaning results from ovulation tests?

It's not over yet twizzle :) FX for a lucky first chart for you - there was one on the last thread! How long is your LP usually?

weimy · 28/02/2011 19:00

Oh hello!

That came about quick didn't it!!!

I think I am just going to temp until I have ov'd this month. I also think I will ditch the fruit juice and just do epo till ov. I'm going to swi and jff every other day from day 8 until the bitter end. (Am I spelling until right Hmm)

FX for this one for us all !!!! Grin St Davids

Hi guys
Can I join your thread please? I've just started charting this month (have been TTC on and off due to medical issues for much longer) but despite being due on today and no notable temp drop I don't think I am updiffed so I'm preparing to begin a 2nd months charting!

Changing2011 · 28/02/2011 18:40

can I jump in and ask a question? When calculating Days Post Ovulating do you go from the first day of ov or last day?

bossyboop · 28/02/2011 18:20

me too with the squinting and spending too much time here and searching ff for pregnant charts that look like mine!

My chart is looking sad now after temp dip, af due thurs and brown spotting started though not a lot but looks like im out already and its only cd23 Sad

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 16:48

I'm here for about another 5 hours Shock

I have been trying to cut down on my work internet use, 2ww is tempting me way too much though...

Newgolddream · 28/02/2011 16:46

Me to re the work thing! I was lucky all my patients cancelled this afternoon that gave me time to come on here as I cant concentrate.

I even did what I swear I will never do with my BFN - rescued it from the bin hours and hours later and went through the whole squinting regime again Blush

jaggy Grin you're welcome. I am a bit of a grammar pedant too.

Like you, have achieved sweet FA at work today. Bugger. Just can't get going today.

Can you tell I am not in an especially motivated mood at work tonight.... Blush

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 16:22

PS MrsArch thanks for doing an apostrophe free title Grin

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 16:09

I imagine we look bloody hilarious staring at the test with an intense look of concentration " But there surely must be a line!"

jaggythistle · 28/02/2011 16:07

me too hehe! Come on 37.1 degrees...

I am sad as feck, sitting at work on FF doing the - "find charts like mine" thing to see how many pregnant ones look like mine Blush

Newgolddream · 28/02/2011 16:06

forgot to say jaggy youre right about it being less stressful than seeing a BFN - I held mine up at all angles for ages trying to imagine a line lol.

FX for you as I said chart is great!

Newgolddream · 28/02/2011 16:05

Hello new shiny thread!

jaggy - its such an endless cycle isnt it - waiting to ov and then fretting over temps and then waiting to see what post ov temps are, Im going mad lol. Praying for a giant rise tomorrow Grin
