Here's why charting is cool.

I know a lot of people say that charting seems hard or inconvenient, but if you look at my chart this month, I think I provide a good reason TO chart.  I didn't o until WELL BEYOND when I would be starting a new cycle!  If I didn't chart, I would be driving myself crazy, testing and constantly getting BFN's.  Now, not only do I know I o'd, but I know that I actually had some random sex that could have resulted in a pregnancy.  So, (newbies) that is why sometimes when people tell us they are late, we ask, how do they know?  Because even though this is a long cycle, I'm certainly not late!

Anyway, PSA over.  Charting helps!

our charts look very similar in terms of days.  I thought I was out too (especially since this cycle was medicated), but nope...O'd on CD36, so here's to hoping !

GL!  And yes, charting is the ***!

wow, they do look similar! I'll be crossing my fingers for you.  I think I'm testing on April 20th, 13 DPO.

I have quite a few internet cheapies at home, so if AF doesn't show her ugly face, I will probably test on Sat or Sun (just because I like to torture myself).  eek....  This is my first 2ww, so I am trying to stay cool.

I am totally in the same boat, but without O yet.  This is my first full cycle charting and even though I'd like to throw my BBT out the window some mornings, I will keep doing it as long as I need to for that very reason.
