Anyone temp but not chart?

sunshinegirl09 · May 2009

I use the cbefm and temp every morning and just write it down in my calendar. But wonder if anyone else does that. I know I started using ff but it was just too time consuming...

I really dont see the point in temping and not charting.

I used to just temp and not chart, but found out that it was soooo nice to use FF. I know it seems overwhelming and time consuming, but once you get into it, it really isn't bad. I used to hate it but now I love it. I would try giving it one more try and taking an afternoon and look through it.

what's the point? In all honesty, taking my temp and waiting for the beep is more time consuming then entering the temp into FF.

Wait, are you that friend of mine that never returns a phone call because she "just didn't have time"??

I will only do this after O is confirmed, to reduce my obsessiveness with looking at my chart during the 2WW.

Don't you temp so you can chart?

justinlovesme · May 2009

The whole point of temping is to see the pattern. What was the point of not putting the temp onto a chart? Just to see the temp rise??

To me that defeats the purpose.

This. And I wouldn't describe FF as time consuming. You just plug and chug, usually just takes a few seconds. I wish it took more time, it would give me something else to do inbetween calls at work!

I keep it written down on a calendar and I do notice the temp rise during o. Ok ladies, I will give it another try.

It's really no more work than what you're already doing, and it's much easier to see in chart form.

Am I missing something? It takes longer to take the temp than to put it in FF. Also, take 2 seconds out of your Bump time to do it. If you have time to hang out here, you have time for FF.

Just curious, how was FF to time consuming? You put your info in and go about your day. It takes like 5 seconds. I don't personally see the point to temping if you're not charting.

This is true. I spend alot of my "work" time on here. I will take a look now. Thanks for the opinions ladies!

I think you'll find it really helpful to enter your temps into FF. Totally worth the 30 seconds that it takes.

sarai0316 · May 2009

I didn't want to chart at first either because I thought it was time consuming but after I checked it out. I really like FF. I am still new to it, only been charting for 2 days, (going through charting course too), but like the ladies said, it really only takes a few seconds to plug in your info then your done.

hollybabe · May 2009

Well, I could see why you would decide not to chart, if you're only wanting to know when you O after the fact. I obsess over every day on my chart, but if you didn't feel the need to do that, then that's your choice.

I started charting on paper before FF, because I felt it was a PITA to log on every day. Now it's just part of my routine. GL!

I only took my temp so I could chart...I liked watching it plot out on the screen

I know, right?

I'm so confused by how ff is time consuming or overwhelming?

Take your temp. Check your CM.

Click twice and you're done.

Charting With FertilityFriend.com is the best 5 min a day i have spent. If you have a phone that you can access the web, DO IT! its so worth it, I dont even get out of bed before its done, its that easy, i take my temp, while im laying there, i grab my phone, pull it up, log just that, then iom done! Then during the day i will update my CM. ITS TOO EASY! and it does everything else for you!!

Were taking making a baby here, if you dont have time to chart, ask your self if you have time for a baby!

hoep this helps you to chart and Good luck!

I did that at first...and then went into AF and entered all the temps. I could NOT see a pattern when I didn't chart. I was charting on paper too when I was TTA, and I had trouble discerning what was going on. FF gets super fast and easy. Worth the time too.
