Do they work? Any advice on someone who
has used them will be nice.

I have a friend who has been using one for
5 years, and still has not conceived. I
tried using one and got a headache! I
consulted my doctor about this and using a
basal thermometer, and he said throw it in
the garbage. He said not to stress too
much about trying to conceive, and to just
have intercourse about every other day or
so around the time when you would be
ovulating. It's bound to work eventually.
Goodluck!

There is a wonderful book that you can
read concerning your fertility, and it
also teaches you how to chart to either
avoid or succeed. It's called taking
care of your fertility by toni welcher.
It is also a really good source on how
your body truly works.
Many doctors do not agree with this
method, so you may really have to search
for one who will listen to you.
Good luck!

My doctor is the one who gave it to me. I
was just curious cause it seems like
something that wouldn't really work but I
will try it. It tells me to take my temp
before I get out of bed in the morning so
I will try it for the first time tomorrow
thanks for your opinions guys.

I don't understand why you have to chart
all this crap. I mean, why not just use
the ovulation calculator and have lots o'
sex when you're ovulating. Seems like a
lot less of a headache.

not all women ovulate at the same time
each time. By charting, you can
determine quite accuratly when you do
ovulate therefore, you can know when to
have sex and possibly achieve pregnancy.
Your body sends out many signals when you
are ovulating, and by charting you can
know how your body reacts when that times
comes. Charting takes your body
temperature, cervical mucous, and cervical
position all into affect.
Many women have used charting to either
avoid pregnancy or achieve it, and the
only thing you actually invest in is the
thermometer.
