Charting (even if NOT ttc)From: Cassandra (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 27 Feb 2001 14:04:55 -0600 (CST)
Hey, everyone! After the talk of periods and ovulation lately, I thought I'd put in a pitch for charting even if you're not ttc. I am ttc, but charting has really helped me aside from that (I'm not pregnant yet, so...) I chart my temp, my cervical fluid type (menstruating, dry, creamy, eggwhite), cervical fluid description (what it looks like, how heavy, etc), vaginal sensation (wet, dry, etc), ovary pain, pms symptoms (back ache, headache, bloating, etc), miscellaneous (info about my day), weight and mood (happy, content, mood swings, blue, and depressed). I've been keeping this for four months now and it has really helped me see the patterns in my life and expect what's coming next. It makes me feel much more in control. I've now had four normal cycles in a row--the shortest being 25 days and the longest 31--I've been taking Met since 7/00 and seem to have regulated, although I have weird periods with lots of spotting before and after the actual flow. Next time I see the endo I have to talk about that. I used the book Taking CHarge of Your Fertility to learn how to chart and it is GREAT! Good Luck! Cassandra
