We just BD'd every day for 9 days straight during my ovulation week. I figured I'd hit the mark one of those days.</p> <p>What is charting for exactly? Is it so that you can avoid having to BD every day for 9 days like I did? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-43033 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 22:57:23 +0000 s2kheartmustang 43033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. It stressed me out too much so I follow my other natural bodily signs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-43008 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:22:59 +0000 Puddingpop 43008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty addicted to charting - and hubby finds it interesting as well. As PPs have said, it helps my nerves to know my body and cycles better.</p> <p>There are months where it gets wonky though - like this month! I'm supposed to have ovulated by now, but I've had 3 low temps in a row (long implantation dip?) </p> <p>Any ideas ladies?<br /> <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/37ef08">My Chart</a></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-36539 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:40:57 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 36539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love charting! It makes me feel like I'm actively doing something to help my body along (though I'm not really, just recording what it's doing). It's also helped calm me down a little: I know that I AM ovulating, and that my cycles are normal, even though its taking longer than expected to conceive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33576 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:15:28 +0000 loveletter 33576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started trying to August and I've been charting since October. I'm glad I decided to chart - otherwise I wouldn't have known that I haven't been ovulating. That's saved me a lot of dissapointments at the end of each month,. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33513 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:19:15 +0000 Kemma 33513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started actively TTC in April,, charting since July.</p> <p>I have pretty regular cycles so now I only chart for the week before ovulation and weekdays during the TWW (too much charting makes me craaazy) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33487 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:34:44 +0000 MsMini 33487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't during my 13 months TTC, but I had ridiculous cycles (100-200 days) and I am a shift worker, so it was recommended that I didn't frustrate myself trying. I did conceive on my 1st normal cycle though (on Metformin). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33485 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:28:08 +0000 cupcakemama 33485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope,not my thing. I know that it gives many women the feeling that they are in control but for me it would reinforce that I actually have minimal control over my fertility, all I can do is react to what my body does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33457 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:36:41 +0000 hilsy85 33457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me! Started charting right away, pretty much...helps calm the obsessive compulsive part of me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33444 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:16:03 +0000 misskittykakes 33444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not currently charting...we are on cycle 3. If no BFP this cycle I am going to give it a try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33438 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:11:44 +0000 Ms.Bucky 33438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started charting -- but I'm not TTC yet (so I didn't vote). I love it. It's really empowering to know what's going on with my body. For instance, I just went off the pill and am on CD 25. I know I STILL haven't ovulated yet and so I have no reason to freak out in the next few weeks when I STILL haven't gotten my period.</p> <p>Hope the body gets back to its old rhythms soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33221 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:46:10 +0000 BSB 33221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when I first got off BC but my OB/GYN told me that looking for EWCM was fine. I haven't charted since. Also, it never worked for me since my sleep cycles are not consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33214 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:41:48 +0000 TheFixIts 33214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chart, but we took this month off because I think it stressed my husband out. As a result, this cycle of TTC felt more "normal" (versus forced) which I'm optimistic about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33135 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:56:10 +0000 MaisyMay 33135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started charting 4 days after we got married. We charted 18 months to avoid and got pregnant the first time we tried to conceive. We are currently in charting cycle 3 post miscarriage and desperately hoping to get our BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33086 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:02:38 +0000 prettylizy 33086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I charted right up until I got my BFP, but I'm a big fan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33085 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:01:36 +0000 heffalump 33085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both times I ttc I charted and got pregnant right away. I'm a big fan of charting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33075 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:56:15 +0000 lovehoneybee 33075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've stopped since I got my BFP a few weeks ago, but I was charting for the better part of a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33067 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:50:10 +0000 Mrs.VW 33067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been really great for me too - just the piece of mind for me is great. I was worried for some reason I wouldn't O before I came off the pill and it's nice to see that I am for sure. And when always helps too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33058 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:44:50 +0000 chopsuey 33058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know what charting was before I joined hb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33051 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:39:54 +0000 oliviaoblivia 33051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been charting for the past three months. It's great to see the patterns emerge. DH is totally into it and asks to see the chart, and then asks me to explain it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33050 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:39:39 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 33050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start until I had been trying for about 6 months, but I love it. I would never have timed things right without it (even though it doesn't tell you until after). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33031 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:16:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 33031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do chart. I took a break from it this cycle though. It has been a nice break. I'll be back to charting actively next cycle if we haven't conceived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-33028 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:11:39 +0000 tequiero21 33028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i was actively trying, i charted. on hold for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-32993 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:41:30 +0000 Rescuemom10 32993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd cycle.

I really love it - I'm noticing now as I get more info on there with each month it gets crazy accurate about my O date which is nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-32966 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:22:44 +0000 mrsjyw 32966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First active cycle, just started temping/charting using FF &amp; a phone app. I'm trying to get in tune with my body more and reading TCOYF too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-of-us-are-charting#post-32961 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:21:51 +0000 Mrs.VW 32961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just curious to see what percentage of us are charting during TTC! </p>
