TTC After a Loss

Not charting?

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question -- but does anyone NOT chart? I currently do not (although I'm not opposed to doing so in the future) and I just wanted to see if I was the only one! :)

  • I hope you don't mind me responding. I put off charting for a long time because I thought I'd get obsessed. I actually felt much more relaxed most of the time, knowing when FWP was over. Through charting, I discovered that I ovulate a lot later than I thought I did, and had a semi-short luteal phase. I charted for 4 cycles and took them into a new OB's office. She said they looked great, and I ovulate, so that's good. We ran progesterone tests for the short LP and she told me to quit charting. That's the cycle I got KU.

  • I usually chart the whole month, but this time I charted just to verify O and then I stopped. It makes me crazy.

  • I?m not either. I don?t want the added stress of TRYING to get pregnant.

    I know I can O and I know I can get pregnant, it?s maintaining it that I have trouble with. We are gonna try the old fashioned way for a while and then if we don?t have any luck, I may consider doing it in the future as well.

  • I don't temp.  I keep up with my cycle days, any O like cramps, when we have sex, and when I take clomid.  The temping is just too much for me...
  • I havent started charting either...but I am considering if I dont get KU within the next 2 cycles. ?I keep up with when we BD, my cycle and my O cramps but no temping- so your definately not alone
  • I used NFP when we were not trying to conceive, so it seemed like a natural progression for me.  This is probably why I haven't had any problems with it driving me crazy.  DH  looks at my chart though when it gets close to testing time, which sometimes makes me pretend that I'm not charting.  He gets more anxious than I do.
