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

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 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.

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 know, right?
I'm so confused by how ff is time consuming or overwhelming?
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!
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.
Re: Anyone temp but not chart?

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

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

Take your temp. Check your CM.
Click twice and you're done.
