I can't find this on FF (maybe I'm just not looking hard enough), but do you need to wait to cycle day 1 to start charting? Or can you chart in the middle of a cycle.
I ask because my last cycle started on Feb 23rd. I had a whole mess of stuff happen in March which, I assume, contributed to my cycle being wacky. Basically right now I'm on day 161, which I don't know if that even counts since it's been so long since my last cycle. My OB didn't want to put me on anything to "jump start" a cycle because I'm on a lot of medications already.
I just bought a BBT and want to get things going in the charting department, but I didn't know if I could start right away. TIA
Re: Charting ? (probably a dumb one)
I don't think you do - it should ask you to name the first day of your last period and it will set that as your start - all the days you don't have data or temps will just be blank.
Ah, okay, great! Thanks for the info
I don't think FF can "handle" a cycle over maybe 90 days? You've gone 5 months without a period and your DR won't do anything about it? Provera isn't a constant med...you take it for around 10 days and then stop it.
You don't have to start on CD 1, but I don't know how much accurate info you'd get starting at CD 162 either....
I'm actually going to call her office tomorrow and hopefully make an appointment for this week. I saw her last month and she said that she didn't want to put me on something that was "unnecessary", since I'm not actively TTC and on a lot of other medications, to jump start my cycle. I'm just getting fed up with my body since I've had pretty regular cycles until Feb (besides my two losses) over the past 2 years.
Thanks for the info on the Provera. I didn't know that it wasn't a constant medication, so that definitely sways my opinion about having something to start up my cycle again.
