Charting

I was reading some post about charting
your periods, and I want to try it. The
only problem is my period is so irregular.
Would it still work? My periods vary from
on time to sometimes 3 weeks late.

Many women chart that are irregular.
Because you are irregular you are probably
only quessing as to when you are
ovulating. When you chart you will have a
better idea of when you are/have ovulated.
It is a great aid while ttc or natural
family planning. Are you ttc?

Yes, me and my husband have been for two
months now. We thoughts I was pregnant.
But then my period came the 28. But we're
still trying.

I suggest that you join a charting site. I
know that fertility friend is a popular
one. Many of the ladies in the "getting
pregnant" forum use this site. If you ever
have any questions regarding your chart
the women here are pros and will probably
be able to help! I'm sure you will like
this forum. All of the ladies here are
very kind and knowledgeable.
I feel you with the being irregular thing.
I recently went of birth control and am
still trying to get into the swing of
things. My first cycle was 8 days. My last
one was 10 days. I am currently bleeding.
I figure if I continue on this schedule I
will be regular by the time I'm 80 
. So your not alone!

Well I joined awhile ago, when I had a
cyst on my ovary. Almost a year ago I
believe. I got addicted  and
the guy I was with at the time didn't like
it very much. So I quit posting and
reading. But I am back now
It sucks having irregular periods.  After the cyst I
had last year ruptured on my ovary.. the
doctor put me on birthcontrol, and I wound
up preggy from it, and miscarried. but I
am hoping everything goes great and I get
a BFP soon. My husband and me want to have
a baby so bad!

I had very irregular periods and yet I
still charted. I think that charting is
the reason that I am pregnant. It takes a
few months to get into the routine though
so don't expect pregnancy right away. It
still took me 10 months of ttc. Good luck!

Thanks!
Yeah I really don't expect to get pregnant
right away. I've tried to explain that to
my husband lol but he believes it'll
happen pretty fast. Maybe so, we'll see.
Wow ten months. I bet you were happy when
you finally got a positive.  How far
along are you now?

takes longer. I am now 19 weeks along and
doing great. We are having a boy so now I
am getting all ready for him.

I
understand that! My dh thought that the
first time we had unprotected sex I would
automatical become pregnant. That
is what we were always taught in school.
Oh how wrong they were!

mother-in-law had 3 boys and one girl so
it didn't surprise me that he was a boy.
