I don't know how to chart. 

You can learn! Just get a copy of Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler. And a thermometer. 

Though if you are BFing your charts will be wonky. And that may not be reliable, if you are trying to avoid pregnancy.

I actually just ordered TCOYF and a thermometer today. I feel dumb that I didn't know about charting before I got pregnant.

Don't feel dumb.  I would say that many women don't know much about their cycles/fertility.  My sister thought you ovulated three days before your period, for example.  We usually aren't really taught much beyond the basics, which is really sad. It appalls me the number of women who have no clue what's really going on in there. I think this is something that should really be taught to us when growing up.
