Trying to Get Pregnant

Charting - Paper or Online

Do you do online or paper charting.  I've always done a half-a$$ attempt at paper charting in the past, but now that we're starting to TTC this cycle I'm obviously going to pay much more attention.  Just wondering your thoughts on the difference between online and paper charting.

TIA!

  • I really like FF, mostly so I don't have to figure out my chart for myself. Not to say I always agree 100% with FF, but I love all the features, and playing around with it, etc.

    So, online!

  • Online, because then someone else is deciding when/if I ovulated.

  • online is so much easier... there is no guessing where coverline/ CH should be. You can click on just about anyone's ticker and it will take you to Fertility Friend. Its super easy.
  • Online is so much easier. but the paper ones help you to identify why your online chart says what it does. Like when you ovulated and what your coverline should be. You can just plug in the numbers online and it'll tell you what it thinks but if you know how to do the paper version then you understand why FF is drawing certain conclusions.

  • online all the way!! but I'm a big computer geek, so I do everything online anyways!
  • its obv a personal preference, I used to exclusively chart with paper charts, but switched over when I started posting here, as it was easier for everybody to reference.  I'd suggest charting online, and if you want a paper copy of it, you can always print it out.

  • Online without a doubt.

  • Cool, thanks all!  I set up an acct. at FF a week or so ago and this is the first cycle I'll actually use it.  I accidentally set up my last cycle wrong, and clicked the wrong start date, but oh well.  I'm only on CD 1 so nothing too exciting going on there yet!
  • Online for me - I like that it figures things out for me.

    Ditto. =) I use the TCOYF software but update FF so that people can see my chart, if they want to.
