I started temping this morning, since I was still spotting yesterday, I'm hoping that I'm on the right track :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-mid-cycle#post-24134 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 03:45:11 +0000 looch 24134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What NYCALIMAMA said...I never temped during my period. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-mid-cycle#post-24132 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 03:10:47 +0000 SAHM0811 24132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I forgot to mention that some women don't temp<br /> while on their period, so it is okay that you start after. The temps during a period don't really tell you much. But most women temp through a period to be consistent and to keep the routine going. So since you're just starting, no worries that you didn't start on CD1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-mid-cycle#post-24126 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:22:49 +0000 MaisyMay 24126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Start right away, and be consistent. Get at least 3 hours of sleep before you temp, keep the thermometer by the bed so you don't have to get up, and temp at the same time each day. Since you know how long your period was, I'd enter those days without temps, and start keeping track of temps. Fertilityfriend is a great resource, and they offer free charting software which is useful for double checking paper charts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-mid-cycle#post-24070 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:47:56 +0000 SAHM0811 24070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Start as soon as you can, it's not too late. If this is your first cycle trying, good luck!! Have you read Fertility Friend's course on charting? It's very helpful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temping-mid-cycle#post-24053 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:30:50 +0000 mrsjyw 24053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I unexpectedly started my period on Thanksgiving Day (first period after coming off BC, 38 day cycle)... and haven't had a chance to start temping. Can I start tomorrow? I just ended my period. Will I still be able to see a pattern? Or will be erratic until my cycles regulate to a consistent # of days? </p>
