I was just talking to a colleague about natural family planning (I'm trying to convince her to get her self baby-battered NOW), and I found my chart on Fertility Friend where I got pregnant with Butterbaby. It almost kinda makes me want to get pregnant again ... almost. But then all this time I've spent letting Jillian Michaels torture me would be for naught.
I had to do it because I had a progesterone problem in the second half of my cycles. This was the first cycle I did with progesterone supplements, and I decided to test FF out on a whim (I had just been charting on paper, old school style).

That makes sense. I just often would see people talking about charting and taking their temps. I never did any of that.

Dorothy, that is one good looking chart if I ever did see one! That reminded me the hours and hours I spent using the fertility friend search looking at other people's charts.

I thought it was weird where it pinpointed ovulation; the temp dip was several days before.
I spent so many months charting too, it was kinda crazy having to stop. Charting helped me to diagnose my Luteal Phase issue, I was ovulating sooo damn late every cycle that my poor sweet little eggs never had time to fertilize. I am soo grateful to the bump and everyone on it for teaching me the ways of charting, because without it, it would have taken me soo much longer to get the drugs I needed to get pregnant again. I had just made the appt. with an RE when I finally got pregnant. Monitored Clomid for the win!!! Oh the memories.... I've printed and kept all of my charts, is that creepy? lol. They fascinate me and I am proud of them.

I only charted to appease my type A side. I had been using an app prior, and we were having sex at the wrong times. A was conceived the first month we had good timing.
Also it once I saw my temps dip, I was able to move on to the next cycle mentally. Granted we only tried for 3 months before conceiving, so I probably wouldn't have been as whatever about it if we were trying for a longer period of time.

My chart with Charlotte! I keep trying to post my chart w/ Claire too but it's not working. Anyway, I charted because I am Type A and needed to control getting pregnant. Bahaha
