I have to write EVERYTHING down. I have a pocket book calendar that I use daily. I am a to-do list creator and checker off-er. I have never used anything on line because I think I remember more when i write it out.
I use fertility friend for charting and everything else I have a calendar for

I'm like @freakyfast - I write it all down. I have a planner that I use to track everything. Of course, I'm probably the only person left on the planet without a smart phone, so my options are more limited. But I like having it all down on paper.

Thanks for the replies! I was just wondering how everyone keeps track of it all. I have a smart phone, and I do use apps, but sometimes I feel like I could write more detailed notes to myself if I actually WROTE it down vs. typing on my phone.
Just re-thinking the "system" is all.

I write everything down too, but I like the Notes app so that it is all on my phone for me to look at anytime but I can write down all my extra questions, thoughts, etc. I used to have a planner, but it wasn't as convenient to carry around so I can obsessively recheck!

TTC#2 since Nov 2010 with breaks for DH cancer tx (remission!)
<------ iPhone junkie here! I use an app called My Days, its not fancy but it lets me track O, AF and take notes on a daily basis so I can refer back to things. I've been known to hand my phone over to my RE so she can see the charts it creates, such as average cycle length and cycle history.
After 3 failed Clomid+TI cycles, DD was conceived with IUI#1
I use fertility friend through the iphone app. Some months I haven't temped because, well, after 17 months I have gotten sick of it every month. But I do at least track my periods and when DH and I DTD. You can add notes in fertility friend. But I also will write little things on the Notes app on my phone.
