    the best way to start is by using a charting program like fertility friend (has free basic membership...google and it should come up).
    also a good idea to buy a digital BBT thermometer. can get from a chemist and cost around $15. one that goes to .2 decimal places is ideal.
    the basic system is to take your temp when you wake up (before you get out of bed); it is best if you wake up at the same time everyday. then hop onto your chart and record your temp and your CM and any other things that you feel (ie, PMS, ovulation pain, tender .Y.).

    these charts can help in determining a pattern in your cycles (ie when you ovulate and how long your luteal phase is: the time between O and AF). this way you can maximise the timing of DTD to best fit the fertile window.

    HTH and good luck!

    Definitely jump on board the fertility friend train. When you sign up it will tell you everything you need to know, and how to observe your signs.
    Good luck, and I hope you get your very soon.
