One glass of wine after dinner would raise my temp a little bit that it was confusing if I didn't also mark it. Also, if i got up to pee to close to when I took my temp it would be higher. But once I figured these things out I could chart really clearly. It's nice to take lots of notes when you are getting used to your patterns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-at-charting-could-someone-take-a-look#post-2702737 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 18:16:57 +0000 TheMaraudersDaughter 2702737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies! :happy:<br /> Feeling a lot calmer knowing it's normal to have charts that look this different, even though the neat freak in me would prefer charts like the first one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-at-charting-could-someone-take-a-look#post-2702549 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 13:03:19 +0000 QBbride 2702549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, totally normal. They both show a clear ovulation pattern which is exactly what you want! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-at-charting-could-someone-take-a-look#post-2702537 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 12:33:03 +0000 Tionn3 2702537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's normal for charts to look different month to month. I would say I have a couple patterns that I see regularly throughout the year. You also changed from oral temps to vaginal temps, so that would cause your chart to look different. Both of your charts look really good though. The most important thing is that you can see a clear shift between the two phases, which both of your charts show nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-at-charting-could-someone-take-a-look#post-2702383 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 09:33:32 +0000 Banana330 2702383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheMaraudersDaughter: yes it's fine your charts will look different month to month. Especially since you changed how you temp. Oral temps can be affected by open mouth sleeping etc. I tend to use my charts mostly for clear ovulation patterns and not stress about the daily temps. I never found correlation between my post O temps and pregnancy until after I got a positive test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-at-charting-could-someone-take-a-look#post-2702373 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 09:21:35 +0000 TheMaraudersDaughter 2702373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we're not really trying to get pregnant, but not really trying to avoid it either. I'm mostly charting to get to know my body because I've had trouble conceiving in previous relationships.<br /> Went of the Nuva ring in November and my cycles have been a bit weird but seems to be normalizing now.<br /> My last chart (the one that says December), which was my first full month charting, was absolutely beautiful to me because it had a very clear biphasic pattern. I was hoping my charts would keep looking something like that, but this one (the one that says January) is completely different.</p> <p>Is it normal for charts to be this different?</p> <p>Oh, I forgot. First month was oral temping, but decided to temp vaginaly instead so I started doing that when my period started.</p> <p>[attach=8047/17/olvujz.600x396.IMG_7813.PNG]</p> <p>[attach=8047/17/olvuk0.600x514.IMG_7812.PNG] </p>
