Anybody charting and BFing?

14years

DH and I are going to start TTC#2 in September or October.  I charted with DS, and it was great.  Felt like I was "doing" something to help the cause.  I am considering charting this time, but I am still BFing and up about once a night to do it.  My charts before did seem to be affected by night waking, and I don't have as consistent a waking time now with DS around.

Anyone charting now?  (I know one of you is -- cakenbake?)  How's it going?  What's the effect of BF best you can tell?

i think about 95% of the girls on the getting pregnant board don't have children yet.  but i believe there is one who just had her baby a month or so ago and i also believe she is charting to TTA, she might be able to help you.  just page Lemon on that board.  HTH

We're TTC but I haven't had a PP period yet. I just started charting to see if and when I ovulate.  I feed DD at 10:00pm and 5:00am, I usually wake up on my own around 4:30 or 4:45 am and I just temp then. Sometimes I don't wake up until 5:30am or something though, and so there does seem to be a bit more variation in the range than there used to be when I charted with DD, but not enough that I can't understand my chart.   If I get woken up earlier than that normal time, as long as I don't get out of bed it never seems to make a difference in my temps whether I was fully asleep for 3 hours prior to temping or not. I just wish I had a period so I could get this show on the road!

I was still BF at night (and waking up a couple times at night with inconsistent waking times) when we TTC #2.  My chart wasn't perfect, but I was still able to detect a temp shift.  (Actually, bad luck with OPKs messed with my chart more than the BF/sleeping issues seemed to do.)
