Boodle (I would ask Merk but she's otherwise engaged), how do I post links here using a word as opposed to the whole URL address (ie. as Merkin did above using the words 'this look')?

Sorry if my question sounds nonsensical Sad

Hmm...I've never tried but I can see the instructions at the bottom by the smileys list. Let me have a go...

My chart

I'm here. Type 2 opening square brackets (without a space) your link, then a space, then the words you want to appear, then two closing square brackets. It's explained below the box you type in the post stoopid Wink

Sweet. OK - you would do this:

The link to my chart is this URL: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/boodle9/

You then need to put 2 square brackets at the front (but no spaces - I've put spaces in so you can see!)

[ [ www.fertilityfriend.com/home/boodle9/

Then leave a space at the end of your URL and write the words you want displayed, followed by 2 square brackets to close:

[ [ www.fertilityfriend.com/home/boodle9/ My chart ] ]

All hail the far more intelligent than me Boodle. And that first post without the automatic link conversion was obviously just so that I could see clearly which of the 4 links you had copied and pasted, ta Wink.
Although having confidently said all that, I'm not convinced I've got it right still as the two links below are identical?!

This should be my current chart:
www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3c06f2/

And this is last cycle's:
www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3c06f2/

Used to love Prisoner Cell Block H! Hadn't remembered enough to catch the reference though..

Nope. Both still showing my current chart, not the last one. Maybe I can't show the previous one?

raining I saw that before, read the title and decided not to read the thread, in order that I didn't weep.

It's not that I think I'm Top Dog.
It's just that I feel like an old lag watching the new girls come in and know that they won't have that long to serve before they get parole and off they go.

Barking, I've got a feeling that as a free membership user, you can only share your current chart. Haven't checked though, just think I recall that coming up before.

Damn it, Raining! We go and teach you this new skill and that's what you do with it! Link us to a page that's going to make us all Envy! ( Wink )

Shit. That was an epic fail (sigh). The preggo chart is the very last one (Jan 2012) Sad

Raining Sad Looking at your charts, you have a much wider range of temps than I ever have. Doubt that it means anything. Just an observation.

Do you mean between pre- and post-ov temps?

Penny31 · 10/03/2013 18:27

pip and raining I'm sorry you feel that way. Since I'm now convinced any 'symptoms' are in my head, I could be here for the long haul and look forward to getting to know you all. Although I do hope you get your bfps soon, I'm sure they are well deserved! How long have you been trying?

Boodle9 · 10/03/2013 18:29

Your temperatures have quite a wide range - mine will occasionally drop below 36, but maybe only once per cycle, if that. They rarely go above 36.7 at post-ov peak and it's like that pretty much every month.

In contrast, your charts are a lot more varied and your lowest and highest temps are more extreme than mine.

May still not be explaining myself well here! Sorry! Blush

Oh, Penny, we don't mean to make new ladies feel unwelcome, there's just a real fear on these threads that you'll be the last one standing when everyone else has graduated to the ante natal threads. I've been ttc for a year since my mmc last March. Just applied for one round of private IVF.

Boodle, I understand what you're saying - I hate that my temp dips below the coverline and I hate that I haven't had temperatures as lofty as those on my pregnancy chart Sad

Jeez this thread moves quickly! Just been to my sisters for a brew and you've filled up 2 pages :-)

Thanks for the responses on my chart. I do want a lap & dye, that's what I was hoping for last time I went to the docs but she's said I have to wait until August to do anything else. Any advice? Should I take my charts along?


I'm pretty consistent when I take my temp. Usually between 6.15 and 6.45 except at weekends. Although yesterday and today I've woken up at 6.30 so taken it at a normal time.

It's interesting looking at everyone else's charts and seeing that they don't follow the low-high pattern the websites/books show!

So does everyone use ff? I've been using IP for a few years and didn't want to have to transfer all my details from my iPhone to a new app on my new android phone. would you say ff is worth doing all that for? anyone used iP?
if I start temping then I'd want to make sure I don't have to do it to many times!
