I never have temped though - even when not pregnant I wake up at night to pee and my wake up times are off b/c of my husband's schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1667313 Thu, 29 May 2014 21:07:34 +0000 MaryM 1667313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @Anya: and @Aria: </p> <p>I learned how 2.5 years ago when I went off bcp. I did really detailed charts for a few months and they helped my dr see I wasn't ovulating and helped diagnose pcos. </p> <p>I slacked for a bit while we were not really trying, but now that we are, it makes me feel a bit more in control. I'm used to spending 1 or 2 minutes taking and recording my temp in the morning and going back to sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1667211 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:40:24 +0000 LAZB 1667211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I chart. I started after ttc for 8 or 9 months the first time, and started right away this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1667209 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:39:51 +0000 HellOnHeels 1667209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: IMO, keeping track of/recording your BBT and CM are the most common. Some people will also chart their mood, any pains (cramps) their having, how heavy/light/spotty AF is, meds/vitamins their taking, etc etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1667200 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:38:04 +0000 lilteacherbee 1667200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I did for over a year while TTC. I have long cycles, so it was helpful in figuring things out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1667083 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:17:02 +0000 charmed 1667083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I did for about 8 months before getting a bfp. It was really helpful for me to look back over different cycles and compare. I'll definitely use it when I'm TTC again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1667055 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:12:06 +0000 rattles 1667055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - we've followed the Creighton method of NFP for 3.5 years both to avoid and achieve pregnancy. I'm amazed at how much more aware I am of how my body/fertility works than I was previously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666998 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:00:01 +0000 Aria 1666998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Same! I know so many people find it stressful, but I find it to be the opposite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666947 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:49:15 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1666947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started charting a year before TTC (I had the paragard), because I thought that would make things go much quicker. We're now on cycle 14 of TTC. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666935 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:47:34 +0000 mfa_lady 1666935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a really half-a$$ed version. Occasional opks and recording BD sessions. And sometimes I'd add symptoms I felt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666840 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:28:10 +0000 birdofafeather 1666840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was temping and charting my CM when i went off BCP. i charted for 9 months TTA and then 1 month TTC. it's the only reason i got my BFP because i knew to keep DTD because i hadn't O'd! I'm a big fan! once i'm TTC again, i'll temp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666569 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:33:20 +0000 californiadreams 1666569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what constitutes charting? i have an app where i keep track of my periods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666550 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:28:54 +0000 delight 1666550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started charting right away. LO is now 9 months and I've started tracking cycles again but not my temps. I'll probably start tracking my temps this summer and hope this fall we get lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666546 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:27:16 +0000 PurplePumps 1666546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I charted for about 7 cycles/1 year and then stopped once I started seeing the RE and having her do monitoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666537 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:23:54 +0000 Anya 1666537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It was easy as soon as I got the hang of it and it became part of my regular routine. Now that I have this knowledge about my body and cycle, I don't think I could ever give up charting while TTC or planning- not knowing where I am in my cycle is far more stressful to me than the few minutes a day it takes to chart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666529 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:21:50 +0000 pui 1666529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to chart, but I didn't have much success due to my long, unpredictable cycles. It was good the few times I did confirm O though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666527 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:20:03 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1666527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no, it was too stressful! I did keep track of O, but thats it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666526 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:19:57 +0000 Dandelion 1666526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666525 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:19:48 +0000 Synchronicity 1666525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've been thinking about starting soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666523 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:19:22 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1666523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when I came off of BCP and we were TTC. I liked it, but it got to be a little...all-consuming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1666521 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:18:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1666521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I charted for 2 years of IF, then started again two months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-chart#post-1663833 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:15:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1663833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started charting about 4 months into our TTC journey. I stopped after we found out about our IF. I charted for about 5 cycles. </p>
