Help needed on charting

[gerberbaby9]

Hey ladies!

I could use some help/ advice. My husband and I decided to take a break from TTC for the month of March. It was just stressing me out to the point where I couldn't focus on anything else so I just put it out of my mind. My hope was to start charting ( it's really the last thing for me before seeking outside help. I have to wake up different times... sometimes as early as 3:30 AM so I didn't want to have to get up at that time everyday to chart)  in the beginning of April so that I have something to reference for May or June when we started to try again but time got away with me and I noticed today that I may have BD'd during O. I can't say that for certain... I can't even say that I O'd for certain because I wasn't paying any attention but there's a definite possibility. Would there be any benefit to charting now to see any trends in my temp or should I just wait until the end of my TWW?

Thanks in advance to those who answer. I know I'm not trying at the moment so this may not be the board to post this on but I was for a long time... but I literally was on the verge of a mental breakdown lol! I just needed a break.

Thanks for reading!

Well I am not TTC I am actually charting to avoid but saw this from the main page.

I would say start charting now. It wont hurt anything and it will get you in the habit of taking you temp everyday.

Bonus being if you did concieve this cycle you might get to see a triphasic chart. ( well biphasic in your case)

Have you read taking charge of your fertility?

It is a great book.

Since I first started charting I have had very interupted sleep and somewhat eratic wakeup times. I have still been able to see a clear shift in my temps. Not the same for everyone I know but all you can do is try.
