So my chart is giving me all sorts of issues this cycle. Since I'm inconsistent with CM and CP checks, that doesn't help anyone, but I was hoping I could get some feedback from you all. I've asked in several other groups and sites I'm on and I either get no feedback, or people just saying "yeah, that looks weird. Sorry, no idea what could be going ( Read more... )

So I was wondering what the general consensus was on this particular sort of situation: I have my alarm set to take my temperature every morning at 8 (any earlier and I won't get the right number of hours for it to be accurate, any later and I'll wake up before my alarm and whatever time my body feels is a good time, and affect accuracy). However, ( Read more... )

ETA My temperature seems to be dropping back down this morning, so I'm fairly confident that whatever was happening was a fluke or poor charting on my part (due to inconsistent waking times this month for whatever reason). I'm seriously hoping that temperature keeps going down, down, and down (though I still wouldn't mind thoughts on why my LP ( Read more... )

So you might all remember me from my last post, in which I somehow confused luteal and follicular in my terminology. At any rate, now that I know what I'm referring to, I might be able to get actual answers! I'm not really concerned about anything; mostly just curious. Last month it seemed to take forever for ovulation to happen, but it did, a ( Read more... )

Ever since I began menstruating 13 years ago, I have had the plague of sore boobs. I started tracking my BBT last month and noticed that my breasts became tender the day I ovulated, which I thought actually made a lot of sense. This month, according to my chart, I ovulated on the 16, and should see my period in the next two days or so, but my ( Read more... )

It's me again, with another question. For those who don't remember, I've done away with my HBC, and this is my first month off of it. I've been charting my temperatures for this month off of HBC (only temperatures; I wanted to wait to start tracking CM and other fertility signs til next month), and according to Fertility Friend, and my own ( Read more... )

So I am happy to say that I am ditching my pill after almost a year of unpleasant hormonal side effects that I hoped and wished would go away in spite of me continuing to use my HBC. I switched brands and doses and tried OTC vitamins, drank more water and tried to cut out caffeine, but in the end, I still ended up with sore boobs forever and the ( Read more... )

1) Are you new to FAM or an experienced FAM user?

I have been charting my cycles for 3+ years.

2) Why do you want to use FAM? Or, if you are experienced, why have you chosen FAM?

The charts are a good way to keep track of my overall health, to know what my body is doing, and I object to screwing with my hormones. They are screwed up enough ( Read more... )

So, quick question... Can you use the Ovusoft software for TTA? Or is it just for TTC like Fertility Friend? I was hoping I would be able to do a setting for TTA... Am I missing something?

I have just started charting (both on fertilityfriend and paper) and temping, and have ordered TCOYF but am waiting for it to arrive. I am hoping to use fam and withdrawal to avoid, a pregnancy wouldn't be awful, but it certainly wouldn't be ideal. Having looked through the tags I was unable to find quite what I am looking for ( Read more... )
