Has anyone used one of these? I got one since I'm 41, on TTC cycle 3 and always saw OV on day 14 but this month AF showed a week early so I figured I better try to do better job of catching it. I'm doing this and BBT but just starting. Any tips anyone has on this I"d like to know--timing, charting, whether the monitor works. Thanks all! ↓

Hello clare41; I'm kind of new to all this myself, but I have been charting for several months (started by telling myself we "weren't" trying). I really like BBT b/c you can tell when your temperatures raise if you have "o"ed or not; I also like it b/c it lets me know by the drop when I"ll receive my monthly....or not if the temps stay high. Fertility Friend Online is a website i was using to help chart, it seems ok. ↑

Hi Hope4January--I'm in the February hope squad now..Maybe I will use BBT. I could log it in Fertility Friend calendar (I registered for one) and it would actually do the charting for me right? ↑

Hi Clare, I also use FF and I find it great. You just put in your temperature every day and it creates your charts for you and pinpoints ovulation (after the fact though!). Excellent material for obsessing. Charting can help you spot some fertility issues like short luteal phase or low progesterone. Plus it's free - hurray! Babydust ↑
