Can someone please explain temping and charting to me?

[Kayzr]

We are starting to ttc in sept. I have 2 boys already and this will be DPs first baby. We would both like a girl but would be equally as happy with a boy.

But we heard about the shettles method for conceiving a girl and thought we'd give it a shot as we have nothing to lose. A baby would be perfect no matter the gender but thought why not try it?

I know it is all to do with when you ovulate but that's it until the book arrives.

What do I need to be looking for with my temps etc?

Thanks very much.

There's a lot on the internet about shettles.

For temping, I would recommend Fertility Friend. It's free and you get emailed a charting course when you sign up.

I think it's something to do with male sperm swimming faster but they die quicker or something.

Use fertility friend it's good, if you go to my account www.fertilityfriend.com/home/332dc0 then create an account I think I'll get a week free of the VIP account, would be lovely if you could do that

I do have a fertility friend account I've never used. I set it up when I was ttc DS2 but it happened straight away. I don't remember my login stuff tho so I'll see if I can make a new one.

All you have to do is get a bbt thermometer, and try and take your temp at pretty much the same time everyday... Once your temp rises 4 points for two days then you've ov'd. It's worth keeping an eye on body fluids too.
