Advise Sought

[Moose]

Hi folks, I've just registered.

All this is quite new to me so I'm needing some guidance. My husband asked me to start charting my body temperature each morning. I'm finding it very hard to record it acurately as you have to do it at the same time each morning and it always assumes that you are il well health.

I say my GP last month and he says that the accuracy of these charts isn't great and shouldn't go by them.

Can anyone please give me their advise as I'm getting mixed messages about the charting. I've been doing it for more than four months now and although I seem to have some sort of pattern I can't preduct accuately when ovulation will occur.

Any thoughts? Thanks folks
Moose

Like it says on the FF website - when you ovulate can vary from cycle to cycle by a few days.

So keep charting. My temps all over the shop and I possibly have PCOS (will find out on the 31st) and thanx to charting I can roughtly tell when I'm OVing.

If in doubt BD every few days

charting helps as long as you aware of everything else going on with your body hun maybe use opks too
just to let you know that the month i used opks and charting i caught pregnant good luck with whatever you decide to do and welcome to the forum xxxx

welcome to the forum

i would suggest you start using OPK's aswell as charting, youl should hopefully get a + on them when your LH surge is high and then you need to get bd-ing! good luck!

also best advice i can offer is to relax, but its the hardest thing to do!
