This whole charting thing

Is really confusing me! Does anyone have a resource that can explain it all! I didn't chart last pregnancy because it wasn't exactly planned *gasp*

Anyways I want to start charting next month with hopes of becoming pregnant before next year

Help!

Ditto the PP. Make sure to take the tutorials and make sure to temp at the same time every morning after a few good hours of sleep and plug it into FF.

ditto what PPs said.  I think fertility friend answers the question, how do I chart, and taking charge of your fertility answers the how, why, and if there are any problems this is what it could look like.   Good Luck!

ETA: punctuation is important

I still had some questions once starting charting with FF. A lot is answered once one full cycle is complete. A lot more is answered if you read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." And then a lot of it is searching these boards for answers or asking questions!

Lurking in Trying to Get Pregnant also helps. People often share their own charts in the WTO and TWW threads.

Like PPs have said, the FF tutorials are really nice. You can also look at the chart gallery (under 'Community Galleries') to compare your chart to that of other people. I found it quite reassuring when I was having a really long cycle (57 days). There are charts on there that are just as long or even longer, so I could see I wasn't the only one.
