Do any of you...

still chart you BBT when going through IF treatments?  I charted for about a year.  The whole TTC process was stressing me out, so I took a break a couple months ago and said I would revisit in two months.  I am debating whether or not I should start it up again. Do you think it is worth it or is it not necessary during treatments?

TIA!

I tossed that chart right out the window.  I only used it for TI, and that's not an option for us to concieve...so i figured why bother.

I do have to call the RE on CD1, so I do keep track of that.

I charted for our very first medicated cycle but found it pretty unnecessary. Especially with triggering. The doctor can tell you just as well when you ovulated. I also find that medication makes my 2ww funky so no useful info comes from temps then either.

I don't chart temps, but I do still use FF (the free version) to keep track of things on certain days....like my hormone levels from my baseline appts, what days I did what shots, etc.

I have to say, I don't miss that thermometer.

My first cycle of Clomid I charted everyday....this cycle I am on many more meds so I gave up on charting for this cycle...

I chart throughout my cycles. It still has been helpful, for instance, we adjusted my meds start time for this last EPP/luteal phase ganirelix cycle as per my previous post-IVF cycles, and my dosing was spot on. If we didn't I would have been short several estrogen patches and antagonist injections. I also like knowing how the meds effect each cycle, each unmedicated subsequent cycle, how cysts effect my cycle, and what happened in detail after my d+c and I guess c/p.

But I like information and know what to do with it. My RE does not review my charts or anything.

YMMV.

I charted for 16 cycles, before/during/after my 6 IUIs, I stopped this July as my puppy destroyed my thermometer so I took that as I sign and it was wonderful for a few months of not charting. 

BUT, then I started to see an Acupuncturist and she is having me chart/temp again...ugh.  I do it though, as I hope it helps my Acupuncturist adjust my treatments that are the best for me.  Also, having the BBT history from day 1 of charting, helped my Acupuncturist too.

I do, but that's because my RE is old school (he's the chief and been doing this for 30 yrs) and he wants me to chart. He's the only one in the practice who has his patients chart. Honestly, if I didn't have to, I wouldn't.

I no longer chart my BBT but I do chart my cycles, meds, etc. My RE provides us with an online flow sheet, but I still keep a calendar for my own piece of mind.

No need to chart anymore, that's what the ultrasounds and bloodwork are for.

I haven't kept track of BBT in about 3 years. It didn't help the first 2 years of TTC and I started getting into more heavy-duty IF treatments, so it didn't matter anymore.

I stopped charting 8 months ago when we got our dx.  I don't think I'll ever pick it back up.

I chucked the charts because everything is so well-determined by meds these days.  I have been triggering with Ovidrel, so I am pretty certain when I O.  GL!
