( with Herbs )and do you ladies chart yout BBT's, and check CP & CM?
I am curious too see how many are monitoring these things? I swear by the time this cycle is over, you all will wish me and my obsessive questions away.
I thought I would these questions, before I asked my questions..Mine pertain too CM & CP mostly..

I am mainly using herbs and supplements to get my body on track first but if it led to a BFP, I'd be very happy and excited. I am also charting my temps and cm to get a better handle on things. We'll see if anyone replies to the post you saw about how herbs would affect charting. I think I am seeing a difference in cm (more of it).

It's not a "herb" per say, but I'm on the supplement DCI and have been temping, ferning microscope-ing, and cervix position-watching. I tried the OPK but I ran out of the little suckers before I ovulated, and they're expensive. Oh well.
My temps tend to be a bit erratic, and are more useful in hindsight. When my asthma/allergies get really bad, I know ovulation is near/going-on. I also love my little microscope--it was $30 and totally reusable, just don't scratch the lens. Your saliva (or CM) makes certain patterns around ovulation (looks like "fern" or like a parking lot drawn with really close spaces sort of). Rest of the month it has a few ferns or absolutely nothing. Pretty neat. I thought mine didn't work because I never saw anything. Past 2 cycles (one Clomid + DCI, latest one just DCI) I did see it so I know what to look for.
As for the cervix position...I'm not real great at interpreting that, but I can tell bigtime AFTER ovulation when it drops back down lower (more towards feet). So around the time of O, I can sometimes track it "moving up" back toward my abdomen, and the harder it gets to reach, the closer to O I think I am.
I do best with my little microscope. I think it's called Ovulite? It is very small, too, about the size of a lipstick tube.
I can't tell CM at all...I don't "drain" a lot until after ovulation. Sorry if TMI!

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.
I have used soy for the past three months, charted BBT (except this cycle, it's a stress free rest cycle), and check CM. I don't check CP because I'm a little squeamish about feeling up around in there for some reason. I can never tell what it's supposed to feel like anyway, LOL. What questions do you have?
