    how should i chart?

    Hi all;

    So DH and I are TTC at the moment (well we have a when it happens, it happens kind of mantra). At the same time I am still Bfeeding our 14month old dd.
    I got AF back last months for the first time, so this month i have being trying to chart my temp but considering i have no idea what sort of cycle length i have and all that stuff, im a bit confused.
    So heres my question, is temp and Cm enough or do you think i would be better using an ovulation kit to try and figure out what on earth is going on? Or using all three plus more?

    Thanks in advance

    Justine

    Can't hurt to use OPK's but I don't think it's too important since you are only just starting to work out your cycle. To start with I would say use FF and just start by trying to take your temperature at the same time every morning and also entering CM changes and when you BD.

    Good luck trying!

    I recommend FertilityFriend.com this has been my savor. They also have a free charting course that helps you understand the whole charting process. I personally do not really use OPK's I maily r4ely on CM and temps. I also have maybe baby which I use sometimes as well

    hi all;
    thank you so much;
    I probably should have mentioned that I have been using ff; but i dont know if it will account for the fact that im still bfeeding.... most sites that i have been to that are similar to ff seem to say that they cannot be used if your still bfeeding... I think thats why im a bit confused as to whether there is something different i should be doing than just the temp, cm and bd thing!

    thank you
