I am on the mini pill and breast feeding, we would like to start trying soon and i would realy like a girl this time as i have two beautiful boys.
I fall pregnant very quickly once off the pill so would like to chart befor hand, is this possible or will it not be accurate
Roudysmum, I'm sorry nobody has answered your question yet!
I'm not sure I can help much, either, though.
I think it all comes down to how the minipill works (and this is something I've had no experience with!). Do you still ovulate while taking it? I know the regular pill stops ovulation, but I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the minipill doesn't - I could be wrong, though.
If you still ovulate, then presumably you will still see the same changes in temperature from before ovulation to after ovulation. But if the minipill is doing something to change hormone levels, then it may not be accurate.
At worst, try it for a cycle or two and see what actually happens. It may not work, but then again, it might. There's certainly no harm in trying.

I actually wanted to know that exact same thing. I have 3 boys and would like to try charting to try for a girl. If you find out any information, It would be great if you could let me know.
I know the reusable ovulation testers like the maybe baby aren't reliable when your on the mini pill. they say this on their product page, but I would like to know about the midstream and one use ones.
And to make it all harder, when I go off the pill, I dont get a menstrual cycle at all. :( maybe once every 1 or 2 years. It obviously has not affected my fertility though ;)
Good luck with it all.
