I chart cm (occasionally), bd, af and opks. I've used Ovuview longer so it's probably a little more accurate but they seem to be pretty similar. They both allow you to enter temps but it hasn't come to that yet.<br /> If you use opks, get the wondfos off of Amazon... since your cycles are crazy long. And then you can confirm a positive with a digi. :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611259 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:30:32 +0000 LindsayInNY 611259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Oh yeah, those too, LOL. I didn't use OPK my first cycle but started this past one. Only problem is that, as my husband puts it, we're aiming for a moving target. My cycles post-BC aren't normal yet and have been all over the place. Cycle 1 was long but cycle 2 (now) is ending up even longer. So I started the OPK as though I would have a 40 day cycle like the first one but haven't gotten a clear positive yet. The app is good for keeping track of everything (BD, OPKs, CM, etc.) even if you aren't temping. But the OPKs are tough to use if your cycles are all over the place (or long). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611258 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:30:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 611258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: oh ok good to know. I am still BFing often. ...I am wondering if I am even ovulating? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611252 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:29:23 +0000 littlek 611252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I only use the FF app to track AF. I bought the Clearblue Fertility Monitor which I use to try and figure out when I'm ovulating. I've only been off Depo 1 month and last month it never said I ovulated. I'm hoping my cycle will regulate in the next few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611237 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:26:16 +0000 Alivoo01 611237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't temp, but used the app to track when we DTD, my CM, OPK readings, and when my period started and finished. I found documenting insightful when I browse through previous months.</p> <p>There's a setting you can change to input how long your cycles are because mine is 34 days and the estimated date when my next period would start was pretty accurate. I haven't used the app in awhile, let me see if I can find it and get back to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611232 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:25:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 611232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: did you use it to help you know when to take OPKs? I have a bunch of OPKs but have no idea when to take them!!</p> <p>I am completely TTC clueless... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611228 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:23:43 +0000 LindsayInNY 611228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until a week ago, I was using the FF app to track BD and AF only. I started temping a week ago. I think even keeping track of BD is a good idea though! I think you can change your cycle length in the settings. It'll also pick up on your cycle length automatically as you use the app and keep track of AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611225 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:23:04 +0000 littlek 611225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once you put your period on it will change your cycle dates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-fertility-friend-app-very-useful-if-you-arent-temping#post-611220 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 12:20:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 611220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not temping because I am getting up three times a night or more and never sleep longer than two hours at a time. However, I am tracking my CM and trying to keep track of my cycles on FF. Is this pointless? I am using the app (not full site) and am still trying to figure it all out. Did anyone use FF and not temp?</p> <p>Also, according to the calendar on FF, my cycles are 28 days (I am assuming this is the default). I know my cycles are 60 days...is there a way I can change this or do I just need to wait for my period to start again and then input it into the calendar? </p>
