I found Fertility Friend was the best site for charting. They have HEAPS of info and tutorials so you can understand the basics.

Good luck!

You should just be able to join, that's how I did it.

If you go through someone else's membership, they get bonus days as a reward for the 'referral'

My chart is in my sig, if you want to go through mine wink.gif

that is wierd! It almost sounds like it is saying you have already registered and they can't re register the same email address. Have you tried retrieving a password?

Goodluck!!

Hi ladies,

I've been charting at home (with a few patches where I stopped recording temps 'cos of holidays or frustrating with no luck TTC). I recently discovered FF and have slowly been adding most of the info from my home charts to the website.

Now my free trial period is almost up. What are your thoughts on whether to get VIP access or not? Do people find it useful or unnecessary?
~Mummy~Mel~
Fertility Friend all the way! I used it in my last two pregnancies. I paid to be a VIP member, definately worth it. original.gif

All the best TTC
Kymposs
Another poaching attempt to lure one to Stalk or Be Stalked. biggrin.gif

I've got a chart, but not used it yet. Hope I don't have to use it next month wink.gif
