FF vs other charting options

in TTC After a Loss

Does anyone else chart with another application than FF?  I use the Period Tracker app and love it.  FF just doesn't seem that user friendly to me...or maybe I'm just so used to the other app?  I'm not temping and don't plan to, but I am charting my cycle and checking CM from time to time.  Can anyone help convince me to use FF??  I want to use it and link to my chart...but I've gone on a few seperate times to only get discouraged and revert back to P Tracker.  I'm just moving on to cycle #4 post MC (CD6).  With the last pregnancy being a snap, I was hoping I'd get KU by now.  No early Christmas gift for me...waa!

    I used one called Monthly Cycles, but it just guessed when ovulation was based on periods. Thanks, but no thanks. I ovulate late. 

    I think FF is pretty user friendly... it's just a lot of info, but you don't have to use all the fields.

    BFP #2 - Nacho - 10/14/12, EDD 6/20/13, MMC 8 weeks, D&C 11/16/12
    All testing shows both H and I are perfectly normal. Baby Nacho had triploidy.

    Thanks! Ya I think that's my issue. It's like I need to read a novel before I get going.  I think I'm being stubborn too because pissed I'm doing the BD, and A LOT.  It's like isn't that the key?! LOL  Seriously this TTC crud is a lot of work, and apparently I'm lazy.  After three cycles and no luck, I think I'll start getting down to business.  Wish me luck!

    I do not temp, I do chart CM, CP, OPKs and other signs through FF. I used to use other apps, but found FF actually allowed me to more easily keep track of everything I want and put it in a " chart like" form. I use the mobile app and also long in online. You can check out my nontemping chart in my siggy!

    It only works if you do it at the right time. If I'd followed this other one I'd used, I'd never get pregnant. I ovulate about 3 days after the time you're "supposed to"

    benefits to a good chart :)

    I just switched over to FF to try it out, but I've been using countdowntopregnancy.com as my charting tool. I don't have a smart phone, so I have no suggestions there, but FF is getting a bit better, the more I'm used to it. You could try using both for a month to see how you feel.

    Sorry for the delay. Work got crazy for once. Thanks for the info. I will definitely refer to your chart since I dont plan on temping. Thanks!!

    Somebody on here mentioned that they use the smart phone app OvuView...so I downloaded it, and I really like it.  I also use the Period Calendar app just for comparison.   For temp charts, cm, opks, OvuView is better. I think the period calendar is closer in prediction for my actual ovulation dates (so far) but apparently OvuView needs a few cycles before it's predictions become more accurate.
