BBT Chart

I've just started doing myself a BBT chart, in excel, which plots a =
graph for you of your BBT over the month, if anyone wants me to forward =
them a copy when I've finished just mail me and I'll e-mail you a copy =
FOC.

Basically you write in your BBT and it plots it on a chart for =
you.Simple, nothing fancy but I'm hoping it will help me and maybe some =
of you, to work out your ovulation times and help with knowing when to =
do the Baby Dance !!

Regards

Karen

You can do the same basic thing at www.fertilityfriend.com . It lets you
also track cervical mucus, meds, symptoms, etc.

Of course you can, I chose to use my own and am giving it free to anyone =
who wants to save it on their PC, Benefits being you can use it OFFLINE =
and don't have to log on to the net to use it.

I'm not charging for it either, it's free to anyone who wants it. I'm =
just trying to be as helpful to the ng as it has been to me.
You can adapt it to how you want it and take data off you won't use.

Thanks Karen, but I much prefer not doing this on a computer at all. I
just copied the sample charts from TCOYF in manyfold and use old-fashioned
pencil and paper. It wouldn't work for me if I had to switch on my PC each
time I needed to record a temp

BTW, the advantage of fertility friend is that it also keeps your
statistics of the last cycles, and is therefore very accurate in
predicting your ovulation date once you've used it for 3 or 4 cycles. You
can tell it which cycles need to be excluded too, so if you ever run into
a questionable cycle, you could give it a try. Unfortunately, they don't
have an easy upload tool, you have to put in all data one by one.

Wow, you are truly a woman of this age! In spite of all my work with
computers, I have never managed the art of PDA's. I have a thing with
electronic gadgets: they either break down on me or I totally forget about
them. Never even thought of using them for this purpose...

Sure enough

That's so kind of you! But you are already making a valuable contribution
to this group: your own experience. It be small things at the moment, but
it's the added knowledge and experience, combined with the general
kindness, that makes this group almost indispensible to me.

Hehe, I actually used a combination of Fertility Friend (the free
version--I never paid to upgrade to the fancier features), a freebie
charting program for my palm pilot, and pencil and paper . Call me
obsessive I had a small spiral notebook and pen (one of those cute
ones with a built in light) next to my bed with the BBT thermometer.
When my alarm first went off, I'd stick the thermometer in my mouth
and doze until it beeped. Then I'd use the light on my pen to check
the temp, and write it down on the notebook (I also marked in the
notebook when DH and I would BD). At some point that morning
(generally in a quick break at work) I'd enter the temp into my PDA,
along with whatever CM and cervical position I had. The PDA version
would draw a basic chart for me and attempt to predict ovulation
(after it had a couple of months of data), but didn't have as many
features as fertility friend. So a couple of times a week, I'd take
my PDA and enter all the data into fertility friend so I could see the
whole chart at once, and poke around at the discussion groups and
other things on their site.

That's probably way more work than anyone else would bother with, but
I did mention the obsessive thing right?

I know where you are coming from I am the same way! I'm glad to see
that you are due in September. The charting must have worked
