Figured this is where to ask this....no, I'm not TTC. Nor am I exactly TTP. I'm just thinking about starting charting again to keep an eye on things.

The thing is though..I haven't had ppaf. How do I start a chart without it? I mean, I know I can still watch cm and do temps, but, what about an official chart at FF...they ask for last period and then won't let me back that far LOL

What can I do?

I did recently sign up..that's how I know they won't let me go back far enough to start with my last af...you know, before Warrior :p

I have been receiving the 'how-to' email guide thing, though have not read yet...as the titles mention TTC or whatever...anyway...I will go and read those, but if anyone can offer any guidance, I'd be ever so grateful. :)

I don't think you have to have a last period date. You can just start temping and charting. If it demands for a date, I would just make one up.

That's what I was thinking!

Yeah, exactly. Or you could just do paper charts. I personally think it's easier to keep track of temps that way anyway.

Yeah, Tara, my periods have been sooo irregular, I couldn't go off them... the things that have been my major pin-pointers were the CM, cervical position and temp. The OPK test strips helped me know for sure when my LH was rising, so that was helpful. That's awesome that you're charting! I can't wait to see what your cycle is doing~ ;)

Right on! And just wanted to reiterate that even if your periods were regular, you still can't go by them, it's the day to day fertility signs that really count. :)

Ok...I was thinking about just making something up hehe I may just do that then. I know the periods aren't going to clear things up much. I generally only have one or two before I get pg anyway...not enough time to figure them out anyway LOL

Alrighty, I will try to get over there and do *something* soon. No guarantees. I'm so behind on my 'meant to do online' list hehehe
