Did anyone else have problems with charting the basal body temp? It drove me nuts when we did this years ago.
I tell ya I am not looking forward to charting, etc. I wonder is it really a big deal wether you chart it or not? What kinds of things did you do to help ttc before when you were trying?
Thanks
I could never get the hang of the Basal Thermometer. I kept getting up to pee before taking it, etc etc:) I could never get it right! I just got an ovulation predictor so hopefully that will be easier.. I'll let you know how it goes. It was pricey! Best of luck!!

I agree with the previous poster.....the hardest part was remembering to do it! I used fertilityfriend for my charting and had a thermometer that saved the last temp in it's memory. So if I woke in the middle of the night and needed to pee I would take my temp then and just look at it the next day to record on my online chart.
I loved knowing my cycle and being able to feel a little bit of control during such a hard time.
You can get a clear plan fertility monitor(can be expensive at first and around $40 per month for the test strips. But you basically pee on a stick every morning and it keeps track of your cycles and tells you when you are most likely to conceive.
another option is to use this little microscope thing that you put some of your vaginal fluid on and let it dry ...then if you see a fern pattern on it....you are fertile if you don't then your not. You can use it everyday and you only pay like $25 for it and use it over and over again.
Those are the only other things I've heard of other than tempature charting and ovulation tester kits.
