How long before TTC should I start charting

Hey all! I am new around here and my husband and I have been talking about TTC sometime around January. I haven't been on BC for a few years now and I think I have finally figured out my cycle after being irregular for a long time. I have had BOTB since we got married a few months ago. My question is how long before we start TTC should I start charting my BBT? Is it something I shouldn't worry about until we start TTC or should I start before so I have a better understanding of my body and when I O for when we start TTC? Thanks ladies :)

    This.  Start before so you understand your cycle better and have the best opportunity to time everything well.  Even with doing that, it may still take several cycles, so you might as well get ahead of it.

    Up to you.  I went off birth control pills the month we started TTC and started charting that first month.

    If you are not ready to get pregnant and do decide to come off the pill early, make sure you use another form of birth control (condoms) until you are ready.  TTA by charting works well AFTER you know how to chart.
