Hi Jodie,
I think your doctor is right about the charting but only if temperatures are taken in to account on their own. If you combine them with other factors such as CM (cervial mucus), CP (Cervical Position - though I have yet to master this and don't think I ever will) and OPKs (Ovulation Predictor Kits) then you can get a general idea of when you each cycle. I don't think there is any harm getting to know your cycles a little better so maybe your Doc shouldn't be so quick to jump on the idea. Have a look at fertilityfriend.com. It's free, so have a go and maybe print out one of your charts for your Doc to see? Maybe she will see it in a different light once she sees the info it can produce?? :-k
In saying this, I have charted 3 times and got a different result each month :-s . 2 of the months, FF pinpointed 'O' on different days and one month it couldn't pinpoint it at all. I guess it's probably not 100% reliable but sometimes you have to do your own interpretation of the data. At least this site puts it in to a nice little package for you n e way!
Good luck and I hope you get a soon!
