charting...

Do you think my RE will tell me to start charting before he does any tests????

I do not want to waste a few months charting...I know I have scarring on a tube..I just don't want them to make me chart before doing anything aggressive...

I dont think so. In fact they didnt even ask me (but I offered the info that I was charting when I spoke with her). A lot of people dont chart and I really dont think it will make a difference if you dont. Good luck with the RE!! When are you going (did you post it already and I forgot?) YOu are seeing Dr. S right (I have NO clue how to spell her last name)! She is the one who did my IUI yesterday! She was very nice, a little rushed and not much time to talk with me because she was so late getting in to the office, but nice nonetheless.

That's great that you know someone who goes to him already and they are happy with them. Good luck with everything!

I tried charting, but because I always have to pee in the middle of the night, then would forget in the morning cuz I am always running late, it didn't work for me.

I went to Egypt on business and my olive supplier, who also happens to be an endocrinologist specializing in fertility issues, suggested I just BD on days 9, 11 and 13. So that's what I did when I got home and I got a BFP immediately!!

Unfortunately I missed, but I am now trying that method again this month and hoping it works -- and sticks!!

So....not everyone thinks charting is helpful in the ttc process, although it seems to be a good way to keep track of what's going on in your body. My old GYN wanted me to chart but I dumped her. Chat Icon
