    I miss being able to pretty much know exactly when AF will show up! I'm not on BC so my cycles now vary between 28 to 32 days and I never know when to expect her.

    I was chart stalking someone from my home board, and DH saw it pulled up on my screen and was like, "it's been a long time since we've seen one of those!"

    I know I won't be able to chart for a while...and it kind of makes me sad!!

    I was so sure I was going to chart while BFing, but I totally overestimated my capacity to take my temperature after a night of interrupted sleep. Alas!

    I don't miss it at all...probably because I'm doing it again in hopes of getting D a sibling.

    I enjoyed charting a lot more before having one LO. Charting with a baby/toddler was a lot more challenging! Obv it will be a while before I pick it up again but that's fine with me for now. I know I'll be ready to start after AF arrives, which I hope is a long time after this LO gets here.

    This is the truth. I had so many open circles from sleeping late, getting up early, terrible sleep... I did enjoy knowing when to expect AF though.

    We have used charting to prevent getting pg as well, but it's nearly impossible to do when breastfeeding for me!  I have bfed for a year with my past kids and am never "normal" until I am completely done.  This time I'm not even bothering with the stress (we are using condoms instead), but I do miss knowing what's going on with my body.

    I do miss it. I wasn't able to chart for 14m after DD was born (it took that long to get 3 hrs of uninterrupted sleep), and I'm not charting now. I really miss knowing what's going on with my body.

    I totally miss it! I'm planning on starting back up again when AF shows, when ever that is. My thermometer is in my nightstand begging to be used!

    I dont miss the trying so hard to ttc and feeling so sad everymonth it didnt work out. But I do miss the charting. I loved putting in my temp every morning and seeing the patterns, trying to guess the next days temp, stalking my friends,... all that stuff.

    I really want to, but I feel like there isn't even a point when I'm getting up two or three times a night.

    I am going to try once I get AF back, too!

    Yeah, I don't miss the pressure. I'm more excited to chart just to be aware of my fertility and use it for family planning, and less to TTC. That was stressful :(

    This. My nightstand looks less cluttered without the thermometer laying there...
