    Question BBT and night wakings for baby?

    I am still BF and getting up in nights - randomly, and DS (12month) does not always wake in the morning at the same time...so how can I start taking temps? I want to start charting again and cannot just rely on obserbing CM, as I want to have a more accurate idea of what my cycle is doing since it returned 3 months ago.

    Can I still take BBT? Or should I try a saliva test? The pee on the stick ovulation thingys are exxy and need using frequently from memory? Any other ideas?
    Also, other than Fertility Friend, what other free sites for charting can be recommended?

    I have charted while breastfeeding a 6mo and I was getting up at all different times.
    My suggestions are: Vag temp; record as much info as you can, CM, CP, skin, saliva etc;record temp as soon as you wake no matter how different the time from previous temps, just record the different times and use OPK's.

    The possiblity of finding a pattern with all that info is very high

    Good luck

    Thanks Tanya. Im wanting to get quite an accurate O reading for girl swaying, and previous to this last pregnany, I know my cycles can vary a fair bit. FF never had me convinced, as it would put my Luteal phase from 11 -14 days (usually 12 days). Im not sure about the hassel of pee on a stick ovulation things, last time I tried using those a few years ago I went through quite a lot with no luck (probably due to the variation of 26 -35 day cycles...) Hmmm, looks like a busy road ahead with this swaying business
