Charting/temping during medicated cycles

Do any of you chart (temp) while you are on cycles that are medicated?  Is the information relevant with the medication (injects)?

    Nope.  Since I'm being monitored so closely by my RE, I don't feel there's any reason to monitor on my own.  That's what I am paying him to do!

    Not at all!  You are being monitored so closely that there is no need for the added stress.  Also, meds sometimes mess with your temp/opks and can really mess with your head and make you question your RE.  It isn't worth it.

    That's what I figured - just something else to obsess and overanalyze.  Not sure I will do it.  I haven't done it before with my other cycles - but were starting round #2 with the RE.

    I am only because I didn't chart thoroughly last cycle and it really stressed me out not knowing what was going on. I wasn't on a medicated cycle or being monitored for any reason, I just wanted a break. It ended up being the most emotional and stressful month of all for me.

    I don't feel like there is any point in me charting this month since I'm literally having monitoring appts every two days but I'm a control freak and need to see what my body is doing! :)

    no, i don't see the point.  I know exactly when i ovulated through monitoring, so why add the extra annoyance / analyzing of a chart.  the only thing it could tell me is maybe an implantation dip, but to me it's not worth it, i would rather just take a HPT everyday for a week ha haaaa

    This is my 3rd medicated cycle and I am still charting- at minimum though.  I just like to know exactly what is going on and when even though there's no reason to chart while being monitored Smile

    I chart, and my temps don't seem to be affected. I chart to give me an ease of mind, seeing my temps rise helps me know that yes, I did in fact ovulate and respond to the medication.

    Edit: typo

    This exactly.  And temping clued me in that AF was going to arrive super early before it was even okay to start testing.
