Firstly Welcome to families! I wish you luck with your testing The only thing I can suggest is chartiing your BBT its one of the only ways to make sure that you 'O" you can try googling fertilityfriend its a wonderful site that helped when we were TTC Our now 9 1/2 mnth old Good luck

[Hailzw86]

Yeah I've been on that website. I can't track my BBT as I dont have one of the BBT thermometres. I have tried to track my cycle but don't know if I have done it right.

I the website will let you, could yu have a look at my chart and see if you can make sense of it? lol

Thanks alot, Hayley

Personaly I never used a BBT I used a reg dig thermom and it worked as all I had to do was wake up take my temo and I could go back to sleep. It records the temo in it so I didn't have to rush to jot it down

[Hailzw86]

So any thermometre would work? I thought it had to be a BBT thermometre?!?!?!? hmmmm....... lol

BBT thermometers are supposedly really cheap and available at any drug store. The site suggests that you use a BBT thermometer, but you can use an acurate digital one. I've been charting because we are going to TTC #2 in the fall, and I wanted to get an idea of what my cycles are like before we actually start. I use a regular digital, and the site really just says to be consistent, so you'd want to use the same thermometer everyday. Good luck!
