Temp Charting

[Vickyxx]

Does anyone have an idiots guide to charting temps

I have been using OPK's but my cycle seems to be all over the place at the moment so thinking this may be more beneficial for me

thanks x

No sorry, but i was reading another forum and they had a thread about looking at your spit under a microscope to look at "ferns" as an alternative to OPKs.

Saliva ovualtion prediction i think it's referred to as.

I was quite intrigured and even tempted, if i decide to check when my ovulation occurs.

Don't have to record unless you want to, just see what it looks like in the morning.

Just thought i'd mention it

Have a look at fertilityfriend.com
I use them for my online charting and they have a lesson and guide section to it aswell.

I only chart my temps and my CM when I notice it.

I find it very reasurring as I know that I am ovulating each month.

thanks Bonny, think I will wait another month to see what my cycle does and if its all over the place again then will chart.

Louise - I have never heard of Saliva Predictions before .... the things we women do

Hi Vicky,

I have just bought a temp chart and start charting tomorrow-i got a pack from boots that comes with a graph and thermometer and a little case!! My GP said i have to do it along with the ovulation tests, so i will see if it works. It doesnt show when you are ovulating but when you have ovulated-so you have the test to show that ovulating is happening soon and your temp then shows when it has occured and you only have 48hrs left to fertilise the egg! i think?????
I am seeing my GP tomorrow so will get everything sorted then-got to also have a mid luteal phase blood test now to see wot my results are.
Anyway, hope that helped.xx
