fertility friend or TCOYF software?

Hey everyone, I'm new here. In fact, I've just read through most of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and I'm on my 2nd day of charting. I think it will take me a couple of months to really figure out what the different kinds of cervical fluid look like, and get used to taking my temp first thing

First off as my disclaimer, I use FAM to know my body and what's going on. Eventually I'll use it for BC but I don't yet. I've charted for 5 or 6 cycles

where did you get your spread sheet from? I personally prefer spreadsheets to FF and TCOYF, mostly because I recognise that computers (and programs) aren't always right.

I created one on Excel, complete with a graph. I just took the elements from both FF and TCOYF that I liked and added a couple of my own just for me. For me it's perfect.

oh, if you want some pointers on how to set up a graph or are interested in seeing how I have it set up I could probably email it as an attachment or something.

Ooh ooh ooh could you email one to me too? I think danilangton at LJ will work.

Interesting.. I've thought about charting other aspects of my cycle, to see if there's any correlation. Acne is one thing i'd like to chart, because whenever i go off the pill my acne gets worse.

I will try checking my temp at both times and see if there's much difference. I live in the basement with no window near my bed so it won't be sun-related!
