Anyone else enjoy temping?

I DO! I feel such a sense of knowledge about my body. In a really weird way temping has empowered me through knowledge.

What are your thoughts?

    I thought I would hate it (waking up during the weekends), but I absolutely love it.  I'm addicted to it!  I feel like I actually know what's going on.  My next step, I have an appointment with my OBGYN to check and make sure the basics are working correctly.  Yes for temping!!!

    I agree.  It makes me feel like I have some control over something..but the problem is that after I add my info for the day, I sit and stare and my chart, thinking that something will change.  I will go back and look at it several times a day...so sad..lol

    I love temping. I seriously recommend it to everyone. There is so much that you find out about your body through temping that you would otherwise have no way of knowing. 

    ** After  2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle of     Mini IVF! **

    I totally do this too! It doesn't help that I have the FF app on my Droid so I can carry it with me everywhere. I don't know what I think I am going to see that I did not see the previous 87 times I looked at it before..but meh..its a better addiction then cigs or alcohol..LOL

    This is my first month temping as well.  I was slow to start doing it, and now I wish had done it from the start.

    It's a love/hate relationship (though love and hate may be too strong of words). I do enjoy learning more about what is going on with my body and basically "collecting data" about myself every day. But on the other hand, it really stresses me out... I find myself overanalyzing my chart, getting my hopes up, and then getting really disappointed when I'm out for the month. BUT, I still feel the pros of temping outweigh the cons Smile

    I love it. Couldn't temp this morning and it made me sad. Felt like I was forgetting to do something today. I do hate waking up early on my days off though booo

    I have enjoyed getting some confirmation that my body is doing what it should be doing - I ovulated this month, I don't appear to have a luteal phase defect. This is my first cycle charting, and only my fourth since going off the BCP. I was curious and even a little concerned about how my age (early 30s) and the pill might be affecting my cycles now that we're trying to conceive. I find charting somewhat reassuring in that regard.

    I love it. My first cycle off BCP, I was freaking out not knowing what was going on in my body, or when AF was due. Then the lovely ladies of TTGP told me about FF and it's wonderful!
